Introduction

The KBGM-H06M is a leverless controller with 13 keycaps made of PBT. By default, the extra button serves as an R3 button, which may come in handy when you play a modern fighting game.

Performance

The KBGM-H06M’s buttons are smooth with a slight texture. As for the Gateron switches: they are linear, quiet, and hot swappable for your convenience. For example, Kailh switches should be compatible if you prefer them, and you don’t really need any extra tools to do the swapping.

The KBGM-H06M’s function buttons are for:

  • Turbo
  • Home
  • L3
  • R3
  • Select
  • Start

On the KBGM-H06M’s top panel, there is an OLED screen that shows you the input mode, directional mode, and SOCD mode. You can also see your button presses live. For button remapping, you can do that through web configuration.

Hardware

Despite being small and light, the KBGM-H06M is made up of five layers:

  1. Aluminum alloy
  2. PCB
  3. Cotton
  4. PCB
  5. Acrylic

(The aluminum alloy is of a pretty high quality!)

Running on the open source and highly acclaimed GP2040-CE firmware, the KBGM-H06M provides you extremely tiny input lag that you shouldn’t even notice.

The KBGM-H06M’s cable is USB-C, and it goes into the back left. You should also be able to insert an adapter into a USB-A port for PlayStation 5 compatibility.

Appearance

So you can choose your preference, the KBGM-H06M is available in different colors. In any case, the DOIO logo is tastefully tucked into the bottom right of the top panel without being too “in your face”. Finally, custom RGB LED beautifully shines around the buttons (as well as through the middle layer of the controller).
