The Keydous NJ80CP V2 HE is a compact 80% keyboard designed for users who want versatile connectivity and customizable key response. It suits gamers needing rapid key inputs and adjustable actuation, as well as productivity users who benefit from programmable controls and wireless options. Its magnetic switches offer unique trigger customization, making it less typical than standard mechanical keyboards.
The keyboard features an aluminum plate construction, providing a sturdy and durable base. PBT keycaps resist shine and yellowing over time, maintaining a consistent texture and clear legends for long-term use.
Supports triple-mode connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless, and wired USB. This flexibility allows seamless switching between devices and use cases, from gaming to office work. Polling rates vary by mode, with 1000Hz in wired and 125Hz in Bluetooth mode.
The adjustable magnetic switches deliver a customizable feel, allowing users to tailor actuation distance and response speed. This can improve typing speed or gaming performance but may require time to fine-tune. The keyboard’s sound profile and acoustics are influenced by the aluminum plate and PBT keycaps, typically producing a firm, tactile feedback.
Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android across wired and wireless modes. The keyboard supports driver-based customization for key functions and lighting, enhancing adaptability across platforms.
