Following the product line strategy, these Cu series keyboards maintain their focus on copper bottom cases and extensive curved designs. Since 65% and 60% layouts share similar dimensions, a unified design has been created, launching both sizes together—allowing the community to choose their preferred layout without compromise. For those looking for a compact keyboard that looks, feels, and sounds great, these twin keyboards are not to be missed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/3169\/2649\/files\/1_1e3d8893-e97f-4e40-8e5d-433605c2d2b3.webp?v=1740698541\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance Design\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Neo65 Cu and Neo60 Cu feature the same bezel proportions and rounded corners as the previous Neo65, with an ultra-slim side bezel that seamlessly complements any desk setup and theme.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/3169\/2649\/files\/2.webp?v=1740698541\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn line with the Cu series theme, Neo Studio has expanded the colour palette to include more vibrant options, including the highly requested Teal colour alongside fan favourites from previous releases.

Instead of an aluminium battery compartment, a large, mirror-finished PVD stainless steel weight has been added. This weight is more than decorative—its extensive surface area and higher density better suppress vibrations, resulting in more consistent typing sounds. A compass-inspired logo has been incorporated at the centre, echoing the Core series Neo65 logo while highlighting Neo Studio's iconic symbolism. Despite their substantial weight compared to standard keyboards, the Neo65 Cu and Neo60 Cu remain refined and elegant thanks to these design elements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/3169\/2649\/files\/6.webp?v=1740698541\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/3169\/2649\/files\/7.webp?v=1740698541\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pointer material matches the bottom case, while the four dots in the logo match the top case colour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStructure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChamber Isolation in Bottom Case\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeo Studio has designed a sophisticated acoustic chamber for Neo65 Cu and Neo60 Cu to minimise hollowness.

While ball-catch mechanisms are convenient, they create unavoidable metal-to-metal contact that causes inconsistent typing sounds around the latches without foam dampening. Therefore, internal locking screws have been implemented to attach the top and bottom cases. With additional buffering around the screw holes, the noise from direct metal contact is nearly eliminated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey factors influencing keyboard hollowness include airflow, sealing, space, and material properties.
