Naya's fully modular wireless mechanical keyboard system surpasses funding target in six minutes, offering unprecedented layout customization through magnetic expansion modules.
The Naya Connect wireless mechanical keyboard ecosystem has achieved explosive success on Kickstarter, blasting past its $11,665 funding goal in just six minutes. With 27 days remaining in the campaign, the project has already secured over $189,000 from 546 backers, signaling strong demand for its innovative approach to keyboard customization.
What Sets Naya Connect Apart
At its core, the Naya Type keyboard features a 75% low-profile design using Kailh Choc V2 switches (available in linear, tactile, and clicky variants) and double-shot shine-through keycaps. What makes it revolutionary is the magnetic pogo-pin expansion system that transforms it into a modular input platform:
- Layout Expansion: Add a numpad and navigation cluster to create a 96% layout
- Input Module Options: Hot-swap trackball, touchpad, 6DoF controller, or customizable knob modules
- Positional Freedom: Arrange modules in any configuration (left/right/center)

Technical Implementation
The base keyboard operates wired-only, while wireless functionality requires the Connect Dock ($187 bundle). Input modules contain both the wireless antennas and batteries, enabling true wireless operation when docked. Naya's custom software provides deep key remapping capabilities via drag-and-drop interface, surpassing standard keyboard customization tools.
Compared to fixed-layout alternatives like the Iqunix Magi65 Pro or Lofree Flow Lite, the Connect offers unprecedented physical adaptability. Unlike Naya's earlier ergonomic Create model, this system maintains traditional keyboard alignment while adding expansion capabilities.

Kickstarter pricing offers significant discounts:
- Base keyboard: €119
