Neon65

Neon65 is presented by its maker as a high-end keyboard built for gaming and productivity, blending a classic gaming aesthetic with modern features. Its most visible element is a pixel-art style display that sits alongside the keyboard's RGB lighting.

Magnetic switches and input speed

The keyboard uses what the maker calls Mystic Crystal Spring magnetic switches. According to the maker, they deliver 0.02mm real-time precision and 0.25ms latency. The maker also specifies an 8,000Hz polling rate, zero dead zone key input, and support for SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Directions) handling for more accurate directional input.

Lighting and display

Under a feature the maker calls Triple Lighting Design, RGB lighting runs across the whole keyboard, while the pixel-art style display can show custom animations and notifications.
