MelGeek Presents Centauri60 and Centauri80: the First Flagship Hall Effect Keyboards with Integrated HD OLED Display

BEIJING, CHINA, January 01, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — MelGeek announced the launch of its Centauri60 and Centauri80 Hall Effect gaming keyboards on Tuesday at 9 p.m. Beijing time, marking the company’s most significant product debut in its 10-year history. The Centauri Series introduces a combination of display innovation, magnetic-switch technology and expanded user-control systems aimed at setting a new standard for premium custom keyboards.

According to MelGeek’s launch event, the new line features the Melgeek’s third-generation magnetic switch system, developed with after years of engineering research. The system includes a master controller chip supported by five distributed processing chips, allowing for more stable, responsive and lower-latency input performance. With the New anti-interference magnetic shield patent, itsignificantly resolves neighboring key interferece issues, effectively lowering the risk of intermittent connection failure. The keyboards also employ dynamic scanning that automatically adjusts scanning rates during periods of intensive and low activity. Paired with a fourth-generation Hall Effect sensor, the system generates only 2 millivolts of signal jitter—far below the industry’s typical 20 to 30 mV—offering increased stability over most comparable magnetic-switch solutions. The Melgeek also considering the customer’s real needs, they are using 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.

The Centauri’s sizable OLED screen is nearly two inches in width, and sports a 325 PPI pixel density with a refresh rate of 60Hz. The display is driven by an independent image-processing chip which helps protect the keyboard’s input speed. With exclusive dual-layer screen design, users can also adjust wallpapers, dynamic animations, and interactive menus. By integrating the high-definition screen into the actual keyboard frame, MelGeek once again brings personalization and practical usability to a level rarely seen in other performance keyboards.

The Centauri Series also debuts MelGeek’s “Super Dock” rotary encoder, giving users fast access to macros, volume, brightness and profile controls. The turning-knob system is positioned as a central command tool for multi-app productivity, gaming environments and content-creation tasks.

Lighting is another area where the Centauri Series provides marked improvements. An ambient, three-sided lighting system capable of more than 16 million color combinations and in-game reactive lighting responses allows users to customize their setups. With the new Hive software install, users can personalize lighting profiles and save them as custom templates, animate effects with dynamic transitions, and even create reactive effects that respond to key presses or system activity. The lighting system is intended to have both aesthetic and immersive value for gaming or content-creation set-ups.
Acoustically, the Centauri features a gasket-mounted five-layer sound structure. It features a TTC Flip King of magnetic white switch, with smooth travel and high articulation, supporting a deep and polished sound profile using full-surround POM stem and high-rail construction. Bottom-out has been optimized and engineered ergonomically to feel smooth and tactile, but also fast and responsive, ideal for those who demand both top-notch performance and sound quality from a high-end keyboard.

The launch underscores MelGeek’s broader mission to strengthen its leadership role in the custom-keyboard market through engineering innovation and user-focused design. With advanced magnetic architecture, a new high-definition OLED display, customizable lighting, expanded controls and a re-engineered sound structure, the Centauri60 and Centauri80 are positioned as flagship products for 2025.

MelGeek states it was founded in 2014 after the founders realised they “couldn’t find a keyboard that felt right” — many options were “just okay” and failed to meet their expectations for design, quality or performance.

The brand emphasises that a keyboard should not merely function, but “excite us”: “Your keyboard isn’t just a tool for typing. It’s the instrument that gives your thoughts tangible form, brings your ideas to life, and allows your passion to take shape.” The company builds for gamers, creators, keyboard enthusiasts, office users and travellers alike.
