Beijing, China – MelGeek has announced the release of their Centauri60 and Centauri80 Hall Effect Gaming Keyboards, to be released on November 25th, 2025. This next-generation product line-up demonstrates a growing emphasis on MelGeek’s one-of-a-kind user experience, aesthetics design, and technology. With years in the making through community feedback and rigorous research, the Centauri Series features a mixture of expressive design coverage, leading magnetic switch performance, and an unparalleled level of high-definition display that will continue to change what users expect from interacting with their gaming keyboards.
The Centauri Series, priced at $299 for the 60 percent layout and $359 for the 80 percent version, will include two early-bird promotional phases: a 10 percent discount during November 25 to December 2 and a 15 percent discount from December 3 to December 9. This pricing structure is part of the company’s effort to make high-end products more accessible to long-time supporters and newcomers too.
Since it was established in 2014, the company’s focus has been on emotional engagement and creative expression for its users. The Centauri Series demonstrates this philosophy with an almost 2” OLED touchscreen that boasts an impressive 325 PPI and refreshes at 60Hz. This display is driven by a separate processing unit to keep display inactivity from impacting typing performance. It comes with a layered menu system, swipe navigation, custom wallpaper, dynamic animations, and real-time configuration displays. MelGeek’s goal is to enhance personalization, usability, and daily interaction through the implementation of a screen that functions like a small smart device.
The keyboard is powered by MelGeek’s 3rd generation magnetic switch platform, developed with a distributed architecture consisting of one master controller and five slave chips. This mechanism improves signal processing, decreases the response time and provides outstanding consistency, regardless of how fast the game is played or how quickly the user types. With the New anti-interference magnetic shield patent, itsignificantly resolves neighboring key interferece issues, effectively lowering the risk of intermittent connection failure. Its 4th generation Hall sensor provides the highest stability, resulting in signal jitter in the 2mV range – much less than in competitors’ brands.
With the emphasis on innovative design, the series features 3-sided ambient lighting with over 16 million colors. Every zone is independently controlled with the redesigned Hive driver, offering reactive effects, custom featured layers and countless numbers of lighting profiles for any lifestyle — from competitive battle stations, to ambient work setups, and everything in between. The Super Dock rotary encoder allows for tactile control over media, macros, and workflows, creating a user-friendly interface between the user and the keyboard’s digital interface.
Furthermore, the acoustic quality of the Centauri Series is a testament to MelGeek’s attention to quality. The five-layer design with a gasket mount offers consistent, level sound while reducing vibrations to provide a powerful audio experience. TTC magnetic switches provide an ultra-subtle feel accented by a surrounded POM stem and high pro-file design for maximum performance.
The Melgeek also considering the customer’s real needs, they use the new water ingress alert patent to detect liquid ingress. This patented technology allows for real-time detection of the main circuit board, a warning light alarm will be triggered once the liquid be found, effectively minimizing potential user loss.
MelGeek’s founder outlines the guiding principle of the company as follows:
‘By merging art and performance, we strive to provide an aesthetically stimulating and ergonomic experience for maximum enjoyment in use amongst professional gaming users worldwide.’
MelGeek’s ongoing commitment involves connecting with and listening to the input of thousands of enthusiasts, builders and creators all over the world. The Centauri Series is the evolution of an open source design conversation driven by user feedback, open discussion, and relentless testing. In the wider frame of custom keyboards, the Centauri60 and Centauri80 are not only tools but also artistic expressions that blur the lines between personal taste and engineering.
The Centauri Series also integrates perfectly with MelGeek’s Hive ecosystem, which has matured into a platform that allows users to customize lighting, macros, keymaps and display functions. All components are user-friendly, including RGB brightness and animation speed, profile choices and screen elements., helpful for both working professionals who depend on precision workflows and gamers who require immediate reaction times.
