Innovation, Performance, Aesthetics, and Modularity

Featuring patent-pending designs, Everest 60 was created from the ground up to enable peak performance. When it comes to absolute mechanical keyboard bliss, Everest 60 makes no compromises; featuring factory lubed MOUNTAIN switches, genuine lubed Cherry stabilizers, and sound dampening consisting of multiple layers of foam and silicone.

ENDLESS SPACE

Condensed to 60%, Everest 60 comes with all the benefits of a small form factor without sacrificing crucial features such as arrow keys. Its compact shape makes room for your setup and offers unprecedented space for your gaming mouse to maneuver when your battles are tight.

PREMIUM MOUNTAIN SWITCHES

The custom-made MOUNTAIN Linear 45 and Tactile 55 switches have been designed for smooth and quiet operation, making them ideal for gamers and professionals alike. Factory-lubed, these switches are a pleasure for the eyes and ears. Everest 60 is happy to accept all other 3-pin plate-mounted or 5-pin PCB mounted switches.

DURABLE PBT DOUBLE-SHOT KEYCAPS

The era of shiny WASD keys has come to an end. No other keycap material offers the same rigidity, sturdiness, and durability as PBT. Matt is textured and with translucent double-shot legends; they'll never fade or become glossy over time.

JUMP AROUND RATTLE-FREE

The best-in-class Cherry plate-mounted stabilizers come factory-lubed and clipped for a rattle-free keyboard experience. Lubricated with Krytox™ GPL 205 Grade 0, these are the same stabilizers that received critical acclaim on the original Everest and are in a league of their own.

HIGH-END SOUNDPROOFING

You can’t have background noise interrupting when you’re listening for the footsteps of your foes. Everest 60 goes the extra mile to achieve a quiet and muted sound profile. With a silicone mat in its bottom housing and foam on the PCB and between PCB and top plate, no corners were cut to achieve auditory perfection.

RGB ALL THE THINGS

Set your desk ablaze with the broadest array of RGB features we can muster. 16.7 million colors and numerous RGB modes are at your disposal. With individual RGB lighting for every individual key and a slick RGB strip around Everest’s entire body, the choice is yours.

FIND YOUR STYLE

Find your style with MOUNTAIN keycap sets. These keycaps will never fade or wear off, made of ultra-durable PBT and with translucent double-shot legends. Available in ten different colorways, inspired by the world’s most beautiful minerals.
