Neon Series - Turbo Air & Extreme Magnetic Switch Keyboard

VGN Neon Series: 75% Magnetic Switch Gaming Keyboards, Dual 8K

Three Neons, one idea

Every VGN Neon is built around the same thought: your reaction time should be the only thing that matters. All three are 75% boards with Hall effect magnetic switches, which sense how far each key is pressed rather than whether it is pressed. That gives you Rapid Trigger, where a key resets the instant you start to lift, and per-key actuation anywhere from 0.1 mm to 3.8 mm, so WASD can be a hair-trigger and your ultimate a deliberate press. All three poll at 8000 Hz over cable and 2.4 GHz, sit on a gasket mount with five layers of dampening, carry an 8000 mAh battery, and are set up in VGN's web driver with no install.

What changes between them is the body and the switch. The Neon75 Turbo is the all-rounder. The Neon75HE Air is the pro-tuned one in a frosted translucent case. The Neon Extreme is the heavy one, with an anodised aluminium top. Each model has its own section below so you can see exactly what you are choosing.

Which Neon?

Neon75 Turbo

The core Neon. Hall effect switches, FR4 plate, tri-mode wireless, 81 keys, around 1 kg. The one to start with.

Neon75HE Air

Tianba Air switches co-tuned with esports pro Linshu, aluminium plate, frosted translucent case that glows, 82 keys. The one for people who play seriously and want it to look like it.

Neon Extreme

Third-generation Tianba or Barbie switches with 0.001 mm Rapid Trigger, anodised aluminium top panel and backplate, FR4 plate, polycarbonate caps. The heaviest and most planted.

Neon75 Turbo

The all-rounder

The Turbo is the Neon most people should buy. It has the full Hall effect switch set with 0.005 mm Rapid Trigger and 0.1 to 3.8 mm actuation, a dual-core controller running 8000 Hz on cable and on VGN's SmartSpeed X 2.4 GHz link, Bluetooth 5.0 for a laptop, and the 8000 mAh battery. The plate is FR4, a slightly softer, warmer-sounding material than aluminium, over the five-layer Poron and silicone stack and pre-lubed stabilisers.

The case is the clean Neon shape in its standard finish, with per-key RGB and the water-cooled-style neon strip down the side. Cherry profile keycaps, 324 x 138 mm, between 880 g and 1010 g depending on configuration.

Neon75HE Air

Tuned by a pro, lit from inside

The Air was co-tuned with Linshu of the Tianba Electronic Sports Club, and its switches are the point: Tianba Air magnetic switches, POM stems with N52 magnets, smooth linear travel and a 100-million-keystroke lifespan, run by VGN's V-Ultra algorithm for noise filtering so a 0.1 mm actuation does not misfire. Rapid Trigger at 0.005 mm, actuation from 0.1 to 3.8 mm, dual 8K on the tri-mode version.

It sits on a rigid aluminium plate for a snappier return, inside a frosted translucent case that diffuses the per-key RGB and the horizontal neon strip into a soft glow, with an audio sensor that syncs the lighting to whatever is playing. 82 keys, Cherry profile, and VGN's VHUB web driver with SOCD, Multi-Trigger and Toggle functions.

Neon Extreme

Built like a tank

The Extreme is the Neon with an anodised aluminium top panel and an aluminium backplate, so it is heavy enough at around 1010 g to stay locked to the desk through anything, with no flex and no wobble. Under the metal it runs VGN's third-generation magnetic switches, Tianba or Barbie depending on the batch, with Rapid Trigger down to 0.001 mm and the switch algorithm co-developed with professional players to remove dead zones and missed inputs.

FR4 plate, the five-layer stack, pre-lubed stabilisers, tri-mode wireless with the 8000 mAh battery, and frosted polycarbonate Cherry-profile keycaps in gradient or solid colours that diffuse the per-key RGB. Windows, macOS and Linux.

What every Neon has

Rapid Trigger

The key resets the moment you begin to lift, not at a fixed point on the way up. Counter-strafes and jiggle-peeks happen when you decide, not when the switch allows.

Per-key actuation

Set every key from 0.1 mm to 3.8 mm. Shallow for movement, deep for anything you cannot afford to press by accident.

Dual 8K

8000 Hz on the cable and over 2.4 GHz, eight times a standard keyboard, for latency as low as 0.1 ms.

Gasket, five layers

The plate floats on gaskets over Poron foam, tuning paper, a PET pad, high-density sponge and a silicone base. Deep, clean sound, no ping.

Tri-mode, 8000 mAh

USB-C, 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, with a battery that lasts through marathon sessions with the lights on.

Web driver

Remap keys, build macros, tune actuation and lighting in the browser. Nothing to install. Hot-swap for other magnetic switches.

Q&A & Specifications

Questions & Answers

Are they hot-swappable?

Yes, with other magnetic Hall effect switches. Standard mechanical switches will not work.

Can I use my own keycaps?

Yes. All three use MX-style stems and take most custom keycap sets.

Do I need software?

No. VGN's web driver runs in the browser for remapping, macros, lighting and actuation tuning.

Compatibility

All three Neons work with Windows, macOS and Linux over USB-C, the included 2.4 GHz dongle, or Bluetooth, with Bluetooth also covering tablets and phones. 8000 Hz polling and Rapid Trigger run over the cable and the 2.4 GHz dongle; Bluetooth is for everyday typing. The hot-swap sockets take other magnetic Hall effect switches only; standard mechanical switches will not work. All three use MX-style stems, so most custom keycap sets fit. Setup is in VGN’s web driver in a Chromium browser such as Chrome or Edge with the keyboard connected by cable; the Air adds SOCD, Multi-Trigger and Toggle functions in VHUB.
