Mountain's Everest Max was one of the best full-sized keyboards around, and the new Everest 60 is clearly derived from the same pedigree. This is a compact 60% keyboard that manages to overcome many shortcomings of traditional 60% keyboards, such as lack of arrow keys a.nd dedicated number pad.
As on the Everest Max, the Everest 60 supports a magnetic, detachable number pad that snaps onto either the left or right of the keyboard. It attaches via a USB-C connector and magnetic guides. The number pad feels very secure when attached, never feeling like it is in any danger of falling off.
The ability to have the number pad on the left also lets you retain all the additional space for your mouse, while still enjoying the full functionality of the number pad.
In keeping with the same level of choice and modularity, the detachable USB-C cable can be plugged into the keyboard at three different locations: the left, the middle, or the right. It's a neat addition that just puts more control in the hands of the user and allows the keyboard to fit better into a wider range of setups. For instance, you might pick the left or right connector depending on which side your PC sits on.
