18 months of R&D weren't spent in vain

Ticktype scrapped the first case design and started over. Then they did it again. Then once more.

Somewhere in the middle of all that, they took apart most of the magnetic keyboards on the market, didn't like what they found, and decided to build their own switch. They also built their own latency-measurement rig, because the off-the-shelf ones were giving numbers that didn't match what they could feel in-game.

This is the version that survived.

The case

1290 grams in a 65% body

A typical aluminium 65% sits around 1100g, and a Wooting 60HE is about 960g. The NAJA68 chassis is CNC aluminium, anodised in either silver or dark gray, and it doesn't move when you're playing.

You can hammer WASD with one hand and yank the mouse with the other and the board stays exactly where you put it. Neither colourway looks like a gaming keyboard. Both could sit on a designer's desk without anyone clocking you're a Valorant Silver 2 scrub spending your evenings fighting to the way out of elo hell.

The sound

Tuned for the acoustics

Without a mechanical contact inside the switch, there's nothing to absorb the noise of the keycap hitting the housing, and most HE boards usually sound thin or hollow.

NAJA68's chassis has a multi-layer dampening stack built into it:
- The feet are hollow on purpose, so they absorb impact at the desk surface instead of bouncing it back into the keys.
- The tray-mount points are tuned for acoustics.

End result is closer to a well-built mechanical than to anything else in the HE world.

The lighting

this cobra glows

The mesh across the rear of the keyboard is a row of fine parallel slats that diffuse the RGB across the length of the bar. Ticktype calls it "health bar inspired." It flares when you chord keys, pulses when you press, fades as you release.

You also get per-key RGB on the rest of the board, brightness control, and a different lighting setup saved per profile.

The keycaps.

Coated PC. Side-printed legends

The keycaps are polycarbonate with a soft-touch coating that feels closer to a camera grip than to plastic. This material doesn't get oily or develop the nasty gloss-shine after a few months of use.

Legends are printed on side of each cap with a font that fits the vibe of this keyboard perfectly.

The backplate

Not a sticker

The cobra hood across the rear of the keyboard is the actual shape of the bottom case. Negative space cut into the aluminium. The front of the keyboard looks deliberately calm. The back is where Ticktype let the naming go a bit feral. Well, also under the hood, but for a different reason.

The profile

Your wrists still work after a few hours

With the front edge sitting at 18mm and 6° typing angle NAJA68 keeps your wrists in a fairly natural line rather than bent up at the bottom of the keystroke, which adds up over a long session.

The Ticktype Magnetic Switch Gen 1

The Ticktype Magnetic Switch Gen 1 came out of a few thousand hours of Valorant and CS. Nothing on the market felt right, so Ticktype built their own.

The housing is built so the key can't wobble or drift around inside it when you mash it.

And specially tuned, self-lubricating material keeps every single press effortlessly smooth, game after game.

Under the cobra's hood:

Rapid Trigger

0.38ms of real E2E latency

Two chips for maximum speed.

A stronger magnet for precision.

Zero-install web driver for all your configs

Nothing to install or update. When you want to retune anything, you open a browser tab.

Per-key actuation, dead zones, RGB, and Rapid Trigger are all in there.

Keyboard with labeled sections for productivity, Valorant, and FPS gaming on a black background

Switch between 3 profiles with 1 button.

Out of the box, Naja68 has a Work profile, a Valorant profile, and an FPS profile already loaded. Tap the profile button on the keyboard, the indicator light tells you which one you're on. Each profile has its own actuation depth, dead zones, RGB, and rapid trigger settings.

You don't have to open the software before the first round. You don't have to open the software ever, if you don't want to.
