65% Mechanical Keyboard & VIA Programming Support

After releasing several keyboards and receiving feedback from the community, we at CIDOO are excited to launch an extremely powerful mechanical keyboard that supports VIA programming. With a 65% layout, the keyboard retains all of the essential keys for daily work and gaming, along with cursor keys. Furthermore, with VIA keyboard programming, you can assign additional keys and functions to fully remap your keyboard for your every need.

This means that you get a fully functional keyboard with only 65% of the size! VIA allows you to create macros and remap your keyboard layout to quickly access any function in any program. And with on-board memory, you can save and switch between up to 6 different layers. The V65 is ideal for those who demand accuracy, speed, reliability and endurance for long gaming sessions.

Wired or Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity, Win or Mac Mode for Your Choice

With built-in 3000mAh battery, the V65 supports wireless connection via Bluetooth, as well as wired usage with the included Type-C USB cable. The keyboard can connect with up to 3 devices, and you can easily switch between devices by pressing Fn + Z, X, or C.

For Mac & Windows

The V65 is perfect for on-the-go typing or use with mobile setups. The V65 is compatible with both Windows and MacOS, and you can switch between OS layouts by entering the Win mode (Fn+Q) or Mac mode (Fn+W).

The Best Structural Design and Construction

The V65 is designed as a gasket-mounted mechanical keyboard with poron dampening foam and an included PC Plate. Gasket mounting is a type of keyboard structural mounting design, where no screws are used in the switch plate. By placing a gasket within the keyboard construction, the typing feels smoother and more cushioned, with added structural integrity over time.

Construction with a purpose

The typing tactile and auditory experience is further enriched in the V65 with the use of high-quality Poron foams. Poron foam in our construction dampens reverberations within the housing, effectively dampening resonance and allowing a cleaner sound profile. Finally, the V65 comes with a PC plate, which best fits the gasket mount compared to other more flexible plates such as steel or FR4. This adds to the stability of the keyboard over long gaming sessions.

Aluminium Casing & Retro Dye-Sublimation PBT Keycaps

The CIDOO V65 comes with an CNC aluminum body. Our aluminum has been electrically treated to give the keyboard body a better surface finish and a silky-smooth texture. Not only are the resulting colors extremely long lasting, the process also strengthens the aluminum itself, making it durable and corrosion-and-oxidation-resistant.

The dye-sub PBT keycaps in grey-beige color was specially designed to integrate into the retro-theme. PBT keycaps are often considered the top choice for keycaps, even over ABS keycaps, as the PBT material is much more durable, oil-resistant (does not get shiny over time like ABS ones), and stays true to color.

Quark Customized Matte Linear Switches & Hot Swappable Layout

The switches on the V65 are Quark Matte switches that give a linear typing experience with 47g of operating force. With Nylon housings, POM stems, and being factory lubed, the switches are durable and attribute to creating a clear acoustic environment. The V65 is equipped with a hot-swappable PCB that supports 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. Hot-swappable keyboard allow convenient for switch replacements with other mechanical switches. This means you can use any other mechanical switches you like on the V65 without any need for soldering

South-facing LEDs & Light Diffusers

The CIDOO V65 features RGB backlights that are also customizable through VIA. With south-facing LEDs, the keyboard avoids the interference with the popular cherry profile keycaps. What’s more, the keyboard comes with light diffusers which make the RGB brighter and bring more fun for customization of your typing environment.

Rotary Knob for Media Control & NKRO Support

The CIDOO V65 is designed with a knob to control volume. By simply rotating left or right and pressing, the keyboard can turn the system volume up, down, or completely muted. As for anti-ghosting, the keyboard comes with 6KRO out of the factory and can be switched to the NKRO mode. With the above features, CIDOO V65 is the ultimate keyboard for gamers.

Great overall

I think this is a great keyboard overall for the price and versatility. I find myself missing the presence of a top level tilde (~) more than expected, and the volume knob can be unresponsive (the major reason for not giving five stars is it is a different and flimsier knob than the great knob on the numpad sold by cidoo).
The portability and ability to pair across personal and work computers when working from home while having a consistent keyboard layout is great. The bluetooth and wireless both have good key input feedback time lags with my computers.
The good quality for the price makes any frustrations not really a significant to me. I'd recommend to people who want a linear switch and are willing to spend a bit more + wait for shipping.

Great overall keyboard

Coming from a Keychron with a plastic body this keyboard feels *very* sturdy and premium. The default switches feel great and have a nice soft clacky sound, and the "retro" colors are great too. For the price this is an awesome 65% keyboard. Loving it so far!

Amazing feel and sound. My favorite keeb in my current collection.

This keyboard is a phenomenal value. Right out of the box the sound profile trades blows with the Leobog Hi75-the thockiest keyboard I own.

You need to unscrew the board to effectively remove the switches due to the bouncy gasket mount. To take it apart you need to remove the rubber feet which I don’t care for. The switches also sit very firm in the PCB resulting in slight damage of some of the shells when removing the switches.

Overall, I would say if you love this sound profile the final decision comes down to a few things. The Leobog Hi75 is wired only, has more color ways, is 75%, and has a reliable proprietary software for customization. The V65 on the other hand has tri-mode connectivity, two color ways, a 65% layout, and an outdated implementation of the Open Source VIA that barely works for software customization.

I love both boards and would highly recommend either.

I've used CIDOO V65 Pro for a while, and I can say it's one of the best keyboards I've tried. The quality of the manufacturing is strong and durable, giving a sense of luxury when used. The sound is calm and smooth, making it ideal for use in any environment without disturbance. The writing experience is very comfortable, and I feel that the painting offers excellent performance. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality mechanical keyboard
