PC HARDWARE

Dareu launched the Ultra68 modular keyboard in China. So now gamers will have the option of either a 75% conventional setup or a 68-key compact style. This is a very important feature since this will allow users to replace the function row with a 335-LED dot-matrix screen without missing critical keys. Minimalists can replace the function row of the keyboard with the 335-LED dot-matrix display if they want a simpler desk setup.

Modular design lets users replace function row with LED display

What makes it modular? The answer is the 2 different configurations, depending on how the keyboard connects. The wired-only design features Dareu’s proprietary Luban magnetic switches.

Specifications

  • Layout: 75% or 68-key (modular)
  • Display: 335-LED dot-matrix
  • Polling Rate: 8000Hz (wired)
  • Switch Type: Luban magnetic or Kailh Thunder inductive
  • Battery: 8000mAh

In the dual mode version, we have 2.4GHz wireless with Kailh Thunder inductive switches. The chassis material in both variants is aluminum alloy.

So how fast can you play? Well, Dareu has got 8KHz polling rate (wired) for competitive gaming. They claim this results in 0.125ms latency.

Actuation is adjustable between 0.1mm – 3.5mm. Additionally, you will be able to adjust it even more finely, thanks to Rapid Trigger with 0.01mm resolution. The full-key scanning rate is 32KHz. So everything should be very snappy when it comes to responsiveness.

The 8000mAh battery on the wireless version should provide plenty of power during long gaming sessions. The prices are different depending on the finish and switches. In China, the Metallic Black version is 799 Yuan (around $120). If you want the brushed Burgundy version, the price increases by 50 YUAN ($7.48).

The most expensive version is the brushed Metallic Silver finish at 999 Yuan (around $149). This has just been launched in China. There are no international launch details available. So now gamers who want high-polling peripherals will have the option of both magnetic and inductive switches.

    8k polling is overkill for everything except CS. The modular design is the real selling point here.
