Compact 65% keyboard with Hall-Effect magnetic switches, 8000 Hz polling, 0.01 mm adjustable actuation, triple-gasket comfort, and driver-free web customization.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global gaming-gear innovator DAREU today announced the U.S. release of its latest performance keyboard, the DAREU COOL 68 Magnetic Switch Keyboard, arriving in time for Black Friday 2025.
Compact, fast, and finely tuned, the COOL 68 combines Hall Effect magnetic switches, an 8000 Hz polling rate, and 0.01mm actuation precision—bringing pro-grade responsiveness to everyday gamers at a breakthrough price.
Precision Hardware for Competitive Gaming
The DAREU COOL 68 is designed for players who demand instant feedback and flawless consistency. Its 8000 Hz polling rate scans input 8,000 times per second—eight times faster than standard 1000 Hz keyboards—reducing latency to just 0.1 milliseconds
Every keystroke registers immediately, giving players the edge in fast-paced shooters and esports titles where precision timing decides the outcome.
0.01 mm Adjustable Actuation for Total Control
Powered by RT Adaptive Technology, the COOL 68 lets users customize actuation distance from 0.1 mm to 4.0 mm in ultra-fine 0.01 mm increments. This flexibility allows gamers to tailor sensitivity for different play styles—rapid triggers for movement keys, deeper actuation for typing or creative work—making it one of the most customizable magnetic switch keyboards in its class.
Hall Effect Switch Technology, Refined Feel
DAREU introduces two switch options built on Hall Effect magnetic sensing for zero contact wear:
- Shadow Blade Magnetic Switch – smooth linear travel, consistent rebound, stable performance.
- Ice Blade Transparent HIFI Switch – crystal housing for vivid RGB diffusion and a cleaner sound profile.
Both feature 20 mm springs, 45–50 gf actuation force, and 100M keystroke lifespan ensuring longevity far beyond traditional mechanical boards
Hot-swappable sockets let users mix switch types freely for a personalized feel.
Gasket Structure Comfort and Quiet Performance
The COOL 68 uses a triple-layer gasket mount with IXPE foam and silicone dampening to deliver soft, quiet keypresses with a satisfying bounce.
This build minimizes vibration and echo, producing a refined typing sound that feels premium while staying whisper-quiet—ideal for gaming, work, or streaming
Wing Lightbox Design & Dynamic RGB
DAREU's signature Wing Lightbox gives the COOL 68 its standout look. Dual side-mounted lightbars create a balanced glow, while south-facing LEDs and high-transparency keycaps enhance brightness and diffusion.
With 20 customizable RGB lighting modes, gamers can match any setup theme—subtle, reactive, or full-spectrum immersion
Color options include Blazing Orange, Ocean Blue, and Ice Black
Plug-and-Play Customization—No Drivers Required
Setup is instant. Players can visit https://cn.dareu.com/magnetic/ to remap keys, fine-tune actuation, adjust RGB, or enable Rapid Trigger Mode—no software installation needed.
The optional desktop app adds advanced macro programming and onboard profile management, making the COOL 68 one of the most accessible Black Friday gaming keyboards for both beginners and enthusiasts
Compact Design Meets Premium Build
The 65 percent layout saves desk space without losing arrow keys or essentials, perfect for low-sensitivity aimers and minimalist setups.
The 3D Wing Lightbox elevates the keyboard's aesthetics with a bold, modern look while the engineered-plastic base keeps the board lightweight at ≈ 740g.
A detachable USB-C cable ensures secure connectivity and easy portability.
