help YMDK Retro 60 FAQ
What layout does the YMDK Retro 60 use?
The YMDK Retro 60 is a 60% keyboard kit, so it normally omits the dedicated function row, navigation cluster, and number pad. Those functions are accessed through layers and key combinations.
Are switches soldered on the YMDK Retro 60?
The kit is described as hot-swappable, meaning compatible mechanical switches can be installed without soldering. Users still need to confirm the specific PCB and socket type included in their package.
Does the YMDK Retro 60 include keycaps and switches?
A keyboard kit may include only the case, PCB, plate, and related hardware, while switches and keycaps are often separate purchases. The exact contents depend on the particular YMDK listing or bundle.
What gives the YMDK Retro 60 its retro typewriter look?
Its design uses a vintage-inspired case and keycap aesthetic rather than a plain modern office style. The 60% layout keeps the footprint compact while leaving room for a themed custom build.
