Performance Without Compromise

The NJ98-CP V4 HE Advantage

Adjustable Rapid Trigger

Instantly reset your key's actuation point upon release. With customisation down to a microscopic 0.001mm, you gain a tangible advantage in movement and counter-strafing.

Dual 8K Polling Rate

Experience a near-zero input latency of 0.125ms. The blazing 8000Hz polling rate runs identically in both wired and 2.4GHz wireless modes, so you never have to sacrifice speed for freedom.

Magnetic Docking Screen

Get at-a-glance info like time, battery, and connection status, or upload your own custom GIFs and images. It even has a built-in calculator to save you screen space.

Gasket Mount & 3-Layer Foam

A premium mounting style that uses PORON and IXPE foam to cushion every keystroke, eliminating hollow sounds and creating a deep, satisfying acoustic profile.

Tri-Mode Connectivity

Connect via wired USB-C, high-speed 2.4GHz wireless, or Bluetooth. Pair with up to 3 Bluetooth devices at once and switch between them on the fly.

Dual-Layer Profiles

Use the Fn+0 shortcut to instantly swap between two completely independent keyboard layouts. Keep one profile for your office workflow and a second one perfectly tuned for your main game.

Rapid Trigger technology enables faster, more responsive inputs for competitive play.

No More Trade-Offs

Historically, going wireless meant making a sacrifice in latency or stability. For competitive players, that trade-off was never an option. With the NJ98-CP, no one has to change their order. The keyboard was built around a high-performance chipset that delivers a flawless 8000Hz polling rate over its 2.4GHz wireless connection—identical to its wired performance. Throw in a massive 8000mAh battery good for up to 285 hours of use and N-Key Rollover that works perfectly in wireless mode, and you can finally have all the connectivity and all the performance you could ask for.

No More Trade-Offs

Control at Your Fingertips

The customisation doesn't stop at the firmware. At the top right, an aluminum alloy knob provides soft, tactile control for volume and media playback, and it can be fully remapped to any function you need. Beside it, the magnetic docking screen is your personal command center. By default, it shows system info, but it can be loaded with up to 8 of your own images and animated GIFs using the Keydous software. You can even use the built-in pixel art board to draw your own, or download presets shared by other Keydous owners.

Built for Sound and Feel

To truly understand the benefits of a premium mechanical keyboard, you have to feel it. The first thing you’ll notice about the NJ98-CP is its solid feel. At its core, that feel starts with the gasket mounting system and a 3-layer acoustic dampening structure. A combination of PORON PCB foam, PORON case foam, and IXPE switch foam works to eliminate case ping and hollowness, producing a clean, refined sound with every press. The south-facing RGB LEDs ensure a bright, uniform glow without interfering with the Cherry-profile keycaps favoured by many enthusiasts.

Premium PBT Keycaps

The keyboard comes outfitted with a set of thick, high-purity PBT keycaps. This material is highly resistant to the shine and yellowing that comes from oils and heavy use, and features a fine, sand-like texture for a comfortable feel. The legends are double-shot for extreme durability. To add a unique aesthetic touch, the set also includes transparent polycarbonate (PC) accent keycaps for the spacebar, arrows, and other key modifiers, allowing the RGB lighting to shine through brilliantly.

Gateron Jade Pro

Gateron Jade Pro

Offers a slightly heavier feel (36gf) with a deeper, muted sound often described as a 'stone tapping' tone.

Kailh Aurora

Kailh Aurora

Lighter and faster (30gf) with a crisper, more 'clacky' sound profile. The choice comes down to personal preference for typing feel and acoustics.

Questions & Answers

What exactly is Rapid Trigger (RT)?

Rapid Trigger is a technology unique to Hall Effect (magnetic) switches. Instead of having a fixed reset point like a traditional mechanical switch, an RT key resets the instant it begins traveling upwards. This allows for incredibly fast repeated keystrokes, as you don't have to wait for the key to travel back over a reset point. It's a significant advantage in rhythm games and tactical shooters where quick 'peeking' and 'strafing' are essential.

Is an 8000Hz polling rate actually noticeable?

For most daily typing, no. For high-level competitive gaming, absolutely. A standard 1000Hz keyboard reports its status to your computer every 1 millisecond (ms). An 8000Hz keyboard reports every 0.125ms. This reduces the 'input lag' between pressing a key and the action occurring on screen. On a high-refresh-rate monitor, this can be the difference that gives you an edge.

Can I use my own magnetic switches in this keyboard?

Yes. The NJ98-CP features a hot-swappable PCB that is compatible with a wide range of popular magnetic switches, including models from Gateron, Kailh, and TTC. You can change them out easily without any soldering.

How does the dual-layer system work?

By pressing Fn+0, you can switch the keyboard's entire layout to a second, independent profile. This means you can have one layer with all your standard keys and macros for work, and then instantly switch to a second layer where keys are remapped for a specific game (e.g., assigning complex actions or purchases to single keys in CS2 or VALORANT).
