Mizar Mz60 is a standard-sized 60% keyboard featuring RGB backlighting, USB-C wired connection, and hot-swap switches .
The USB-C cable is detachable for convenience of portability.
It comes in two different options:
- Optical switches are much more durable than conventional mechanical keyboard switches and are rated for 80 million keystrokes.
They have a high actuation point of 1.5mm for fast response. Light Strike optical switches utilize a horizontal infrared beam which is transmitted across the width of the inner keyswitch.
The infrared beam is normally blocked from reaching a sensor across from it by the stem. Once a switch is pressed, the switch stem no longer blocks the infrared beam and the beam is detected by the sensor, which activates the switch.
Due to the optical mechanism, an optical switch has an extremely fast response time of 0.2ms, which means faster reactions in those times where timing is critical, such as when gaming.
- Mechanical Switches ( 3 Pins) Gateron Switches, Rated for 50 Millions clicks.

Very nice yellow switches and color modes, I’ve got to say it’s a nice keyboard
I got the white keyboard with gateron reds and I must say that it’s great value for the money. I really didn’t care about the switch since I was just going to replace them with my NK creams anyways, but since I did get the reds I might as well talk about them. I personally wouldn’t suggest Gateron reds since to me they’re just Outemu reds that are slightly better. They’re not actually bad, but they’re just not my preference.
I use it mainly for gaming, its a great keybord. I have a limited amount of space on my desk so this 61 key keyboard is perfect.
Estoy en cantado con este teclado, muy funcional y 100% game
It’s hotswap you get gateron switches and prelubed stabs for 60 dollers buy this keyboard
Really good for the price if your a beginner keyboard builder and you’d like to change ur switches to see what kinda you like this is great for its hot swap feature I have already recommended this keyboard to many of my friend’s
Giving this a 4 star because it looked like someone shotguned my package but the keyboard is fire my guy 10/10 would recommend.
I bought this product and then I took of the keycap of the spacebar and a part of the stabilizer came off with it too, I had to take out the whole stabilizer move some things, and put it back in and now the spacebar makes this loud bang noise whenever I click it. But Overall great product for the money.
According to my son this keyboard is fantastic very touch responsive and looks good
Ottima fattura, pesante come dovrebbe essere una tastiera di qualit. Ci tengo a precisare la differenza tra gli optical e gli altri. La differenza sta nella scheda madre e nello switch. Nel caso degli optical si intende che il tasto funziona con un sensore ottico, quando si preme il tasto un pilastro cala e interrompe la connessione tra i due “occhi” del sensore attivando la digitazione del tasto. rischioso perch se parte di un sensore si danneggia a livello logico il tasto premuto continuamente. Sconsiglio quindi lo switch ottico. Nel mio caso ho dovuto fare il reso perch il programma di personalizzazione della tastiera per quanto riguarda i colori e le macro non riconosceva la tastiera come connessa. Un caso a quanto pare non comune ma non unico. Di solito a quanto pare funziona vedendo anche i video sul web.
I love the keyboard, the software is spectacular on top of it. The only problem that seems to make it worse is the wire. The wire is always disconnecting and if you move your keyboard slightly it disconnects and you have to disconnect it and reconnect it again. That’s really it. Great keyboard.
It a shorter-width illuminated keyboard that is ideal for gaming. The keys are sturdy. The delivery was fast and the item arrived two days early.
it is good for the money. better than gk61, but my one complaint is the slivers are not good and are very loud to what they should sound like.
A really good keyboard for anyone. Very nice and slick design which is very customizable. I’d really recommend brown switches. If this is your first keyboard and you want that clicky noise just know that in the future you might regret that. Overall a 10/10 keyboard
I have 4 stars on it because of the software where you can change the keys color that it doesn’t work it doesn’t like recognize the device it says there is no device connected
Seemed like a really nice board and the keys felt great but the software would not detect it so I could not modify lighting or mapping profiles. Was also having issues adjusting to such a compacted layout. Ended up retuning it for a model with a 70% layout.
Mizar mz60 con switch gialli.
Ottima, piccola, pesante e veloce.
Nella confezione troviamo oltre alla tastiera anche keycap puller che serve per togliere i tasti e cambiarli o pulirli e lo switch puller che serve per togliere uno switch danneggiato e cambiarlo o per metterne di nuovi mai provati prima (novelkeys cream switch)
Gli switch gialli normali sono simili ai red ma con 5g di peso in pi nelle molle per evitare di pigiare per sbaglio i tasti e fare errori durante la battitura. I gialli optical sono simili a quelli normali ma si attivano a soli 1.1millimetri diventando inutilizzabili per scrivere. Tasti come le frecce sono presenti tramite il tasto fn e attraverso il software possiamo regolare macrokeys e aggiustare i led rgb come nella foto.
It is great quality but I suggest getting white version or custom keycaps for lighting also I ordered gateron optical blue but yellow is the best bang for your buck
This is much better than I expected – it’s a sober and very compact keyboard. Typing on it is a joy (gateron brown opticals) – I wasn’t expecting to find multimedia keys – they are there on the FN layer along with arrow keys and extended function keys. For those that like lighting – it’s there in full RGB – I’ve not tried the software yet… I’ll see that later. Perfect for the backpack to work as I’m never going back to membrane keyboard ..
The stabs are pre lubed and the keyboard feels very nice. There is still a bit of wobble but not much.
I got this keyboard in gatoron optical yellow and in the color white, so one of the switches kind of sticks when ever i use it, and the software is not working, but the keyboard is really good for the price and the switches are very light, i would also like to know if anyone could do anything on the one switch because its kind of annoying.
The keyboard is great, however the lack of mechanical switch options currently is really binding. I got gateron browns, and the internet was right in saying that there is basically no bump. If you don’t really care about getting switches in the future that aren’t optical, then just go for the opticals. The spacebar stabilizer is a beauty, however the other stabilizers are a tad lack luster. Overall a great budget keyboard with huge customization options.
Amazing keyboard, great build quality, only thong is yellow switches are a bit too expensive, dont buy them unless going pro in gaming. I recommend the optical blues, they have a satisfying click unlike the yellows and browns but have a slightly higher activation force and travel distance. Hot swappable, i recommend frozen llama keycaps for the white version they look insane. RGB is decent and high quality cable. Full anti-ghosting, which means that if you press 5 keys at once they all register instead of the first one you pressed. Buy this over the GK61!!!
This keyboard is great. It was between this or the GK61 but i wanted something different from what i usually see so I went with this keyboard. Ended up getting the optical blacks and i lubed them and they sound amazing. definitely gonna be modding this board more in the future
Very good keyboard but sometimes it’s not recognized and you have to you replug it.
Got it in yellows great rugby settings to change rub hold the fan key and key u recommend this it’s great for the price
This keyboard works as well as the other ones, works perfectly amazing. For the price especially, you would be surprised. Definitely recommend this!
I only had one problem, but most likely was my fault.
I bought this keyboard for the hot swappable features, meaning I could change the switches, keycaps, casing, whatever I wanted, very easily. But the spacebar seems to be a little bit rattly after I have taken it off to lube the switches. Doesn’t bother me though.
Overall, 9/10
It’s a good starter keyboard but my only problem with it is the stabilizers were not the best but other than that it’s really good
i didn’t get the key cap and key switch puller but it’s good
Gewhlt habe ich die Variante mit den mechanischen Gateron Yellows, da diese generell als so ziemlich die besten im unteren Preissegment betrachtet werden (was ich auch besttigen kann) und viele auch die Federn in teurere Switches einsetzen da diese zu den besten gehrt.
Die Tastenkappen sind die besten die ich auf einer Tastatur hatte (wobei ich bisher auch ausschlielich gnstige Tastaturen verwendet habe)
Generell finde ich die Tastatur fr den Preis super aber nur wenn man die Tastenbelegung so mag wie sie Standardmig ist, da man das leider nicht wirklich ndern kann.
Das Einzige was man daran, mit der Software, anpassen kann ist der Default Layer
also z.B. das wenn man “a” drckt kommt beim PC eine andere Taste (oder auch Tastenfolge) an
was leider nicht geht ist das man z.B. beim Drcken von “a” und “fn”, in Kombination, dann ein “” bekommt (man kann nur Belegungen fr einzelne Tasten setzen)
was mich an der Standardbelegung am meisten gestrt hat ist das die Kombination aus “fn” und “Windows Taste” dafr sorgt das die “Windows Taste” gesperrt wird (was man auch nicht abschalten kann)
da die Pfeiltasten aber nur mithilfe der “fn” Taste bettigt werden knnen ist, meines Wissens nach, die Kombination aus “Windows” + “shift” + “Pfeiltaste” unmglich zu benutzen (mit der Kombination kann man ein Fenster von einem Bildschirm auf einen anderen bewegen und das nutze ich sehr oft)
Ansonsten ist bei mir die Leertaste ziemlich laut, weswegen ich den Stabilizer einschmieren msste.
Die LEDs zeigen nach oben, wodurch das Licht besser zur Geltung kommt, aber wenn man die Tastenkappen ndern will muss man darauf achten das man entweder dnne oder keine mit “Cherry-Profile” nimmt, da die 3. Reihe ansonsten immer gegen die Switches hauen wrde was ziemlich nerven kann.
Wenn man mechanische Switches beim Kauf auswhlt (also die wo nicht “optisch” dran steht) kann man die gegen so ziemlich alle “Cherry-Style” Switches tauschen (darunter fallen die meisten populren) jedoch muss man darauf achten das man nur 3 Pins hat also wenn man Switches mit 5 Pins einsetzen will muss man erst die beiden Plastikbeine abtrennen.
Das Kabel ist 1.6 Meter lang und die beigelegten Keycap Puller und Switch Puller funktionieren ohne Probleme.
Die Tastatur wurde mir pur in der Retail-Verpackung zugeschickt (also ohne Pappschachtel drumherum), wodurch der Aufkleber mit meiner Anschrift auf die Verpackung geklebt wurde und sie ein wenig eingedellt ist was mich aber nicht weiter strt.
Die Tastatur hat hinten keine verstellbaren Fe wodurch man die Hhe nicht anpassen kann
die Hhe ist – vorne: 2,2 cm – hinten: 3,1 cm
Fr die Beleuchtung gibt es 4 Verschiedene Helligkeitsstufen (+ aus)
man kann pro Profil 7 statische Farbeinstellungen vornehmen, welche auf der Tastatur selber gespeichert werden, wodurch man die Software nicht mehr braucht (die Funktionen “M1”, “M2” und “M3” sollen einen zwischen den Profilen wechseln lassen jedoch hat dies bei mir nicht funktioniert wobei ich nicht wei ob ich es nicht vielleicht auch irgendwie falsch gemacht habe)
ansonsten gibt es noch 18 Farb-Verlufe/-Schemas (Vortex, Surfing right, Lighting by press, Breath, Ripple, Always lighting, Wave Spectrum, Center Surfing, Snake marquee middle, Glowing fish, Heart-shaped, Colorful fountain, Traffic, Gluttonous snake, Wild dance, Surfing Cross, Spectrum und Random fountain) wo man die Helligkeit, Geschwindigkeit und teilweise auch Farbe ndern kann (die Geschwindigkeit kann man glaube ich aber nur mit der Software anpassen)
Da mich das Problem mit der Tastenbelegung zu sehr strt bin ich wieder zurck zu meiner alten Tastatur gegangen habe aber einige Kappen mit denen von dieser ersetzt damit ich dort dann angenehm das “US-Layout” nutzen kann obwohl es eigentlich eine deutsche Tastatur ist.
It has better than average keycaps, which despite being abs plastic, feel, sound, and look pretty good. They are a little on the thin side. The RGB is bright, vibrant, and comes with a good selection of options. You can also turn it off if you like. The legend on the keycaps is surprisingly clean, classy, and refined. It doesn’t feel cheap, and compared to most budget boards it feels a class above.
Also, it has hot-swappable, which is awesome for a low keyboard at this price. Great for starting out and trying different exotic switches. I ordered some Kailh box blacks for my WASD, the rest being Gateron Browns.
My only complaint (and this isn’t the only board with this problem,) is that it lacks media keys. No volume, start, stop or pause on any of the layers, and no easy way to program it in. I am not sure why this is, since comparably priced boards like the SK61 have almost identical layouts, except they also have media keys.
So for the price, this is an excellent keyboard, as long as you don’t need media keys. If you need media keys, look elsewhere.
Highly recommend for people wanting a board to tinker with and try out rare and exotic switches.
Let’s start with the worst things first. The keycaps on this board are forgettable. They feel ok and perform their function. That’s about all that can be said.
Second, all my switches work as intended, but I did have some folded over contacts straight out of the box. This made switch removal slightly harder, but everything works just fine.
Now the positives. I really like the feel of this board. I paid the extra $10 for the Gateron Yellow switches and am glad I did. They are very smooth out of the box and all feel uniform. I now prefer them to my Cherry Black switches.
The stabilizers are suprisingly nice straight out of the box. They are factory lubed, and I can tell. A very nice plus for a budget board.
Last, this board is totally modular. This is the primary reason I purchased it. Have a complaint about the stabilizers? Don’t like the switches? Want an aluminum case? Just rip it apart and modify it. As is, it is a nice keyboard, but it can become anything you want with just a little work. Great for beginners looking at trying different switches, and great for modders looking for something to customize without spending a ton of cash up front.
Thencase for this board is similar to the GK61/SK61, but I found that it is slightly taller. The inner dimensions are all still the same just as an FYI. Also, my unit came as 3 pin hotswap. I believe later units are to ship as 5 pin hotswap. I would contact the manufacturer before purchasing if that is important to you.
I personally am looking forward to getting my feet wet into modding this board, and am pleased with the initial quality and value.
