Compact 65% Layout with 68 Keys

The LTC NB681 Nimbleback is a wired mechanical gaming keyboard built on a 65 percent layout with 68 keys. It retains dedicated arrow and navigation keys while saving desk space. Hot-swappable sockets accept three-pin or five-pin MX-style switches. A 1.8 m USB Type-C cable provides the connection.

RGB Customisation and USB Passthrough

The board suits users who want per-key RGB lighting with 18 preset modes, five brightness levels and adjustable animation speed. Two integrated USB 2.0 passthrough ports let you attach a mouse, flash drive or charge a phone. Builders who need a numeric keypad, wireless connectivity or a detachable wrist rest should look elsewhere.

Hot-Swappable Blue Clicky Switches

The decisive specification is the factory-fitted Blue clicky switches that deliver tactile feedback and an audible click. Because the PCB is hot-swappable, owners can replace them with any MX-compatible switch without soldering. If a quiet linear or silent tactile feel is required, a different switch choice is necessary.
