help Tokyo 60 Build FAQ
What is the layout of the Tokyo 60 keyboard?
The Tokyo 60 utilizes a highly sought-after HHKB (Happy Hacking Keyboard) layout, which removes the top number row and caps lock. This compact 60 percent design is heavily favored by programmers for its ergonomic efficiency.
Does the Tokyo 60 require a metal plate?
No, the Tokyo 60 is designed to be completely plateless, meaning the mechanical switches mount directly into the printed circuit board (PCB). This unique design choice provides a distinct, slightly bouncier typing feel.
What kind of switches are compatible with the Tokyo 60?
The keyboard kit supports standard Cherry MX-style switches, allowing builders to choose from tactile, linear, or clicky options like ZealPC or Holy Pandas. You must use PCB-mounted switches due to the plateless design.
Is the Tokyo 60 compatible with standard keycap sets?
Because of the HHKB layout, it requires keycap sets that specifically include a "Top Row R3" key for the escape key and proper modifier sizing. Standard cheap keycap sets may not fit the bottom row perfectly.
