The Kraken Pro 60 is an ultra-compact 60% plug-and-play mechanical keyboard. It is available with Gateron Optical Silver Speed, Brown, Red, Blue or yellow switches, but Sommerset hasn’t specified which she has opted for. However, she has chosen to swap out the original keycaps for the Kraken Pin set that is available through Kraken’s main website. There is also a wide variety of other keycap schemes to choose from there.
However, side from its size and solid plastic construction and double shot PBT keycaps, the other draw of this keyboard is that all of its functions can be set and toggled between directly on the keyboard itself. There are nine preset RGB lighting options to choose from, including a Music Reactive Mode that is triggered by the keyboard’s built-in mic.
