'MOUNTAIN,' the United States-based lifestyle and technology brand, launched the 'Everest 60,' a premium mechanical keyboard in a 60% form factor. The 60% form factor means the keyboard does not have a row of function keys or a built-in numpad, which is great for saving space, increasing portability, and removing unused buttons for certain typists.
The Everest 60 boasts a rattle-proof system that uses Cherry plate-mounted stabilizers that are both pre-lubricated and pre-clipped for a perfect fit. The rattle-free design combines with the board's silicone soundproofing mat to create a silent keyboard that delivers the same performance as loud, clicky mechanical keyboards. The keyboard itself features MOUNTAIN's first-party 'MOUNTAIN Linear 45' and 'Tactile 55' switches, which are excellent for silent operation that still produces tactile feedback.
Lastly, the Everest 60 is RGB-equipped and supported by the brand's 'Base Camp' software for lighting and functionality customizations.
