FAQs

What is a 60% layout?

A 60% layout removes the number pad, arrow keys, and the F-row to create a smaller footprint, requiring the use of function layers for these missing keys.

Are the switches hot-swappable?

The Mercury V60 Pro uses Hall Effect magnetic switches, which are integrated differently than standard mechanical switches; check your specific packaging or manual for compatibility with custom parts.

Does this keyboard require software?

While it is plug-and-play, installing the GravaStar software is recommended for adjusting advanced switch settings and firmware updates.

Can I use this for typing documents?

Yes, it functions as a standard keyboard, though you may need time to adapt to the lack of dedicated navigation keys for editing large text documents.

Is the Mercury V60 Pro compatible with Mac?

It is generally compatible via USB, but some secondary function-key mapping may differ from standard Mac keyboard layouts.

Troubleshooting

Key presses not registering

Ensure the USB cable is fully seated in both the keyboard port and the computer. Try an alternative USB 3.0 port.

Ghosting or double-input behavior

Check the software for switch sensitivity settings and recalibrate the Hall Effect sensor if the option is available.

Function keys not working as expected

Verify that you are holding the correct 'Fn' key combination, as 60% layouts rely on layered inputs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ultra-responsive Hall Effect switches
  • Compact 60% layout maximizes mouse workspace
  • High build quality and industrial design
  • Excellent for fast-paced competitive gaming

Cons

  • Lacks dedicated arrow keys and navigation cluster
  • Steep learning curve for users unfamiliar with 60% layouts
  • Limited functionality without using secondary function layers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the Mercury V60 Pro, simply plug the included USB cable into your computer's high-speed port. As a 60% keyboard, many secondary functions are mapped to the `Fn` layer; consult the manual for specific key combinations to trigger media controls or volume adjustments. To care for your keyboard, avoid spilling liquids near the switches. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the grey casing, and use a standard keycap puller to remove keycaps for occasional dusting of the internal plate. Keep the firmware updated via the official GravaStar software to ensure optimal switch performance.
