The Pauroty is a 60% wireless mechanical keyboard that swaps between three connection modes: 2.4GHz wireless via the included dongle (for low-latency gaming), Bluetooth (for tablet and laptop pairing, holds 3 paired devices), and USB-C wired (for desktop). 61-key layout drops the numpad and function row to fit a smaller desk without losing the alt-key arrow combos. Backlit RGB with 19+ effects, dimmable, and you can turn it off if you don't care about the rainbow. Blue-switch version (the clicky one) is the default but red and brown variants exist. Hot-swap PCB means you can pull and replace switches without soldering when one starts to feel worn or you want to try a quieter switch family later. Battery lasts around 60 hours wireless with the backlight off, recharges via USB-C. It's the wireless mechanical keyboard people use to test the waters without dropping $150 on a Keychron.
Pros
- Three connection modes (2.4GHz, Bluetooth, USB-C) cover desktop, laptop, and tablet from one keyboard
- Hot-swap PCB lets you change switches later without soldering, no commitment to one feel
- RGB backlight is dimmable and toggleable, doesn't have to be a rainbow
- 60-hour battery life backlight-off, plenty for a week of work between charges
Cons
- Default blue switches are loud, fine for solo work but expect side-eye in a shared office, swap to silent reds if needed
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with Mac?
Yes, Bluetooth pairs with macOS and a function-key combo swaps the keymap from Windows to Mac layout (Command, Option, Control).
Can I change the switches?
Yes, the hot-swap PCB accepts most 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches. Pull a switch with the included puller and drop the new one in, no soldering.
How long does the battery last?
About 60 hours with the backlight off, around 20 hours at full RGB brightness. USB-C recharges to full in about 3 hours.
Will I miss the arrow keys on a 60%?
Arrow keys are on the Fn+IJKL combo, which takes about a day to muscle-memory. If you use arrows constantly (like for coding), a 65% layout might be a better fit.
