The Unconventional Alice Layout
Step into a new dimension of typing comfort with the ergonomic Alice layout. The CIDOO ABM066 offers a uniquely contoured design that aligns with the natural positioning of your hands for enhanced ergonomics. The Alice layout offers a groundbreaking shift from traditional keyboard designs by providing a contoured, split layout that dramatically reduces the stress on your wrists and fingers. The shape is engineered to follow the natural curve of your hands as they rest on the keyboard, offering an intuitive and comfortable typing experience.
VIA-Programmable: Your Keyboard, Your Rules
Complementing its ergonomic design, the CIDOO ABM066 also boasts a robust VIA-programmable feature. This open-source software offers an intuitive interface for real-time customization without requiring any coding skills. From key remapping and layer configurations to RGB customization and macro creation, VIA turns your keyboard into a highly personalized device.
Triple Modes: Type-C Wired, Bluetooth 5.0 & 2.4GHz Available
The CIDOO ABM066 supports connection via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz for wireless connectivity, or with the included Type-C USB cable. With Bluetooth 5.0, it easily connects seamlessly with your devices within 10 meters. Equipped with an 8000mAh battery, the keyboard is also easily switched among the three modes for efficient multitasking and speedy performance.
South-facing LED RGB Backlight & Custom Silent Blue Switches
The CIDOO ABM066 features south-facing LED RGB backlights with different light effects. This is also perfect with the custom CIDOO Silent Blue switches which includes LED slot to fit the amazing RGB lights. What’s more, the switches are pre-lubed to increase the smooth sense. With the operating force of 37g and bottom force 45g, the linear switches are perfect on the keyboard to be easily pressed and shine-through.
Gasket mounted with Flex-cut PC Mounting Plate
The CIDOO ABM066 goes above and beyond by incorporating a gasket-mounted mechanism with a flex-cut PC (Polycarbonate) mounting plate. The ABM066 utilizes foam gaskets to cushion the interaction between the plate and the PCB. The result is a softer bottom-out and top-out feel, which reduces typing fatigue and offers a ‘bouncier’ experience compared to traditional tray or top mounts. With the flex-cut PC mounting plate, the keyboard enhances these inherent qualities by adding strategically-placed cuts to allow the plate to flex more when keys are pressed. This results in a feel that many describe as 'cloud-like' or 'cushioned,' providing not just a tactile but almost a 'floating' typing experience.

I love this barebone, the RGB lights look extremely good and have so many options to be adjusted. I don't regret buying this at all, fair price and high-quality product, perfect for people using ISO layout.
I have some trouble finding keys that fit in the CTRL and FN spots, so I'm using caps that are a tiny bit too small, isn't perfect but doesn't bother me. Im also using two shift caps instead of space, as my set didn't come with matching ones XD
Sadly the VIA program has some flaws, i.e. that doesn't allow the add letters from other languages. I would have loved to mix German öäü or an ñ into the layout on the second layer.
All in all very nice keyboard that I would buy again!

yes, the keyboard sounds amazing with almost every switch, but i have a few issues with it. One being the control key and the key to the right of the right space bar being 1.5U size, which is hard to find a key that says CTRL and FN at that size.
also the volume knob is longer than the normal volume knob, so i cant replace it very easy with a better looking one.
also keys like escape, page down, page up, and the arrow keys sound so much worse than the other keys, as if the pe foams and other mods are not working in those areas.
the colours on the screen also change depending what angle you look at it from, which is annoying but i can deal with.
another issue is i want a POM plate for the keyboard so it can sound even more poppy than it is sounding currently, but you dont tell any replacement plates for it, and you do not provide the plate file to get it custom made.
and probably the worst of them all, is the rgb lighting options. there is no option for just a solid light of one colour, or an option where the key you press lights up when typing, and you dont get given the option of turning off the lights on the weird circle at the bottom right of the keyboard next to the left shift key which is annoying.
overall the keyboard is good, but these flaws do make it not as good and force me to rate it as only 3 stars

Felt extremely high quality and the switches I went for made it sound super thocky.
