Compact 65% Layout

The LTC NB681 Nimbleback is a wired mechanical gaming keyboard with a 65% form factor and 68 keys including dedicated arrow and control keys. It uses hot-swappable linear Red switches and connects via USB Type-C with a 1.8 m cable. Two integrated USB 2.0 passthrough ports allow direct connection of a mouse or flash drive. The case measures 338 x 105 x 40 mm and weighs 686 g.

Suits Minimalist Setups, Not Full-Size Users

This keyboard fits gamers and typists who want a smaller footprint without losing arrow keys or navigation controls. The hot-swappable PCB lets enthusiasts swap 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style switches without soldering. Users who require a numpad, dedicated function row, macro column or wireless connectivity should look at larger or wireless models instead.

Check USB Ports and Software OS

Verify your system has a free USB Type-C port or a Type-A port with an adapter for the wired connection. The two USB 2.0 passthrough ports add extra load, so confirm your host controller can supply enough current for attached peripherals. The LTC configuration software supports Windows 7 or above and Mac OS for key remapping, macros and RGB customisation.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port does my computer need for the Type-C wired connection and the two USB 2.0 passthrough ports?

The keyboard uses a USB Type-C cable for its own connection and provides two USB 2.0 Type-A passthrough ports for peripherals.

Will the 65% layout with 68 keys keep the dedicated arrow and navigation keys I rely on from a full-size board?

Yes, the compact 65% layout retains dedicated arrow, navigation and control keys alongside the alphanumeric cluster.

How can I verify the hot-swappable PCB is working after I install new MX-style switches?

Press each swapped key and confirm it registers in the LTC software or a key tester; the RGB backlight should also respond through the 18 onboard modes.
