The Cidoo Nebula is a 65% wireless mechanical keyboard that also takes a unique aesthetic approach, with three color options to choose from, each littered with cute, unidentifiable, anime or cartoon-style cats, koalas, or cloud creatures. The Cidoo Nebula 65% is intended to be space-saving, with a compact 65% layout including arrow keys, three navigation keys and a programmable metal button.
The Cidoo Nebula has an ABS case with a foam gasket, an FR4 plate and a 1.2mm thick flex-cut PCB with south-facing RGBs. The Cidoo Nebula’s MDA profile keycaps are sublimated PBT, which may not appeal to everyone, but should make the keycaps more durable than ABS. Connectivity again includes USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0, and 2.4GHz, and the 3,000mAh battery should provide decent battery life in wireless mode.
One of the biggest highlights of the Cidoo Nebula is its VIA compatible firmware, which allows users to configure the rotary knob and configure macros and secondary functions with layers. The 60 gf Cidoo Carda switches that populate the Cidoo Nebula are pre-lubricated switches with POM top and bottom housings and UPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) stems. POM housings should make the switches feel smooth, while UPE stems should make them sound a bit clacky.
At Cidoo Nebula
