Compact 65% Layout

The LTC NB681 Nimbleback is a wired mechanical gaming keyboard with a 65% form factor and 68 keys. It retains dedicated arrow, navigation, and control keys while saving desk space. Brown switches provide a tactile bump with quiet operation for both typing and gaming. The white chassis features RGB backlighting and a USB Type-C connection.

Hot-Swappable PCB and USB Passthrough

The hot-swappable board accepts three-pin and five-pin MX-style switches so you can change the feel without soldering. Two built-in USB 2.0 passthrough ports let you connect a mouse, flash drive, or charge a phone directly from the keyboard. Onboard controls offer 18 lighting modes with five brightness and speed levels, while the LTC driver software enables key remapping, macros, and deeper RGB customisation.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your system has a free USB Type-C port or a suitable adapter for the wired connection. Ensure your operating system supports the LTC driver if you plan to use macro programming or advanced lighting profiles. Confirm you are comfortable with a compact layout that omits a numeric keypad and function row. The keyboard has no integrated palm rest and relies on two folding feet for angle adjustment.

Questions about this item

How do I replace a worn Brown switch on the NB681?

The hot-swap PCB accepts both 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches, so you can pull out a worn Brown switch and press in a replacement without soldering.

What limits the number of peripherals I can run from the two built-in USB ports?

The two USB 2.0 passthrough ports share the keyboard's single Type-C connection, so total bandwidth and power are capped at the USB 2.0 specification.

How much heat or noise does the keyboard produce during all-day use?

The board has no active cooling and the Brown switches are tactile and quiet, so it adds negligible heat and only the sound of key presses during extended sessions.
