Gravastar Mercury V60 Pro review

Gravastar’s Mercury V60 Pro is a premium 60% gaming keyboard that leans expensive for its size, but delivers extensive customisation and a solid aluminium build. The switches feel smooth, latency is low, and the board has a distinctive organic, sci‑fi look—described in the review as Cronenbergian, moulded flesh—finished in metallic gunmetal or chrome silver.

Setup is straightforward: the board updated its firmware and opened a configurator with four onboard profiles. You can set actuation per key, enable rapid trigger for WASD or every key, adjust dead zones, remap keys, record macros and tweak lighting across 16 dynamic zones.

The board can also emulate a game controller, and there’s an ‘‘indicator’ light that simply lights the word “gaming” in the top left corner. Gravastar’s UFO Magnetic Hall effect switches offer an adjustable trigger depth from 0.005 mm to 3.5 mm, key scanning at 256 kHz and a polling rate of 8,000 Hz for a minimum latency of 0.125 ms.
