The premium keyboard market in Australia has just got a lot more interesting. GravaStar, a brand synonymous with “playable” sci-fi art, has officially landed its flagship Mercury V60 Pro HE on our shores. While the brand may be better known for their otherworldly designs, the V60 Pro HE is a serious kit for the competitive gaming.
In a sea of plastic peripherals, the Mercury V60 Pro HE stands out as a heavy-duty, 60% layout powerhouse. But does the “Rapid Trigger” technology and the unique aesthetic justify the premium price tag for the everyday Aussie gamer? Lee sets out to explore the hype.
Encased in a rugged, skeletonised aluminium alloy frame that looks like it was salvaged from a Martian colony, the V60 Pro HE prioritises performance as much as style. By ditching traditional mechanical contacts for Hall Effect magnetic switches and boasting a blistering 8000Hz polling rate, GravaStar is promising a near-instantaneous response time that traditional keyboards simply cannot match.
The Gravastar V60 Pro HE is priced at A$313.09; this isn’t your standard mechanical deck. But boy does it make a statement. It is currently on discount and is down to A$281.78.
DRN would like to thank Gravastar for providing the review unit.
