Hall Effect Magnetic Switches for Precision
The CIDOO C75 marks the brand's initial foray into full aluminum keyboards, equipped with Hall Effect magnetic switches. These switches are renowned for their fast feedback, dynamic triggering, and customizable actuation points, enhancing your gaming experience by allowing for tailored responsiveness. To improve the typing experience, which can sometimes feel less than ideal with magnetic switches, CIDOO has integrated a full aluminum case, a gasket structure, and multiple layers of sound-dampening materials, making each keystroke smooth and satisfying.
GATERON KS-20U Magnetic Hall Sensor Switch
The CIDOO C75 features the GATERON KS-20U White Magnetic Hall Sensor Switch, known for its stability due to an extended magnet tube design and dual-rail structure that ensures even force distribution and reduces errors in force application. Factory-lubed for noise reduction and a smoother feel, these switches elevate the typing experience with ultra-smooth keystrokes and enhanced durability.
Adjustable Actuation Point
The Adjustable Actuation Point feature on the CIDOO C75 allows users to customize the activate point of each key from 0.1 mm to 4 mm. This precision enables gamers to reduce key travel for quicker responses, essential in fast-paced games, while typists can increase it for more deliberate keystrokes, enhancing accuracy. Tailoring actuation points to personal preferences or specific tasks making it ideal for both competitive gaming and professional typing.
Quick Trigger (RT)
This feature allows the keyboard to dynamically adjust the actuation and deactivation points of keys based on the distance the key is pressed. This capability is especially useful in gaming where rapid key presses are crucial. When a key is pressed and released quickly, it reactivates faster than typical mechanical switches, allowing for quicker command inputs and immediate repetition of keystrokes, crucial during intense gaming sessions.
Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS)
The Dynamic Keystrokes function allows each key to perform up to 4 actions based on the depth of the keypress. For example, a light press might execute one action, while pressing the key further could trigger a second action. This feature supports complex command sequences within games or productivity applications, enabling users to program up to four distinct actions per key based on different pressure levels. This multilayered input method drastically enhances gameplay dynamics and offers nuanced control over in-game actions.
Mod-Tap (MT)
The Mod-Tap function optimizes key utility by assigning dual functionalities to a single key, dependent on how it's used. A quick tap can perform one function, while holding the key down can activate a different one. This feature is particularly beneficial in gaming and programming environments where key real estate is valuable, and accessing multiple functions swiftly and conveniently can significantly boost efficiency and reaction times.
Toggle Key (TGL)
The Toggle Key feature allows any key to have a dual mode of operation: a standard press and a continuous press mode, selectable by the user. Tapping the key quickly can initiate a burst of repeated keystrokes, useful for gaming scenarios where repeated input is needed (like firing a weapon). Holding the key can switch it back to normal operation, where each press corresponds to a single action. This flexibility provides gamers with a strategic advantage by adapting the keyboard to different in-game situations seamlessly.
CIDOO Driver Programmable with On-board Memory
All advanced functions can be adjusted via the CIDOO Driver, along with key remapping and lighting effects customization. On-board memory allows users to store their settings directly on the keyboard, ensuring preferences are maintained without the need for opening the driver.
Solid Build and Design
The CIDOO C75, with its sleek 75% layout, balances compactness and essential functionality, retaining all necessary keys including arrow keys, function row, and navigation/editing buttons on the right. It features a robust full aluminum case, adding a premium feel with a weight of 1.95kg. A metal volume knob on the top right corner enhances user control, complemented by an RGB bar on the left side for a striking cyberpunk aesthetic. Mystical characters embellish the side profile and back, infusing the keyboard with a sense of mystery and advanced technology.
Advanced Gasket Structure with Sound Dampening
Internally, the CIDOO C75 utilizes four layers of sound-dampening material to tune acoustics, including plate foam, EVA case foam, and an IXPE switch pad, complemented by silicone gasket mounts and a PC plate. Finely tuned stabilizers and cherry profile dyesub keycaps contribute to a noise-free, deep-sounding "thocky" typing experience.

I was looking for an inexpensive north pole switch HE keyboard and this was on sale for 111 on Amazon and I decided to give it a shot. The board itself is nice. The switches in it were... alright... certainly serviceable for stock switches, but I replaced them with Geon RAW HE switches and it made a world of difference. I replaced the keycaps, but again, you don't need to.
But the elephant in the room... the software. The software is unintuitive and half the time I don't think that it is doing much at all. I changed the actuation point, but there's no indicator that it did ANYTHING. There's no snap tap functionality yet. Overall it just is very disappointing, capped off with the fact that it is application based instead of web based, like something like the Wooting or Keychron software. If you like the intuitive nature of the Wooting, then I would definitely steer clear of this keyboard.
Ordered on 4/10. It's now 31/10. Nothing has arrived. This is possibly a scam. Not sure if I can get my money back...
I love the exterior and the sound but the software settings kept reseting and I had to do my settings manually every single time I booted up my pc.
its good. i just hope there will be an update regarding snap tap function. keyboard is almost perfect but because it doesnt have snap tap . it became good only.
the only issue i have is that everytime i save my quick triggers to certain keys, and click save, the next time i get on my pc, all the keys are re set and i keep needing to re input it.
