If you have ever debated whether to buy a premium custom keyboard for the satisfying typing feel or a high speed magnetic keyboard for a competitive edge in gaming, Lofree is here to end the argument. Their newest Kickstarter project, the Hyzen, is making waves as the world's first mechanical magnetic keyboard. By combining the physical metal contacts of a classic mechanical switch with the lightning fast sensors of modern gaming keyboards, the Hyzen promises to deliver the ultimate, uncompromised desktop experience wrapped in a stunning, solid aluminum chassis.


PROJECT OVERVIEW

Name and Creator: Hyzen, World's First Mechanical Magnetic Keyboard by Lofree.

What It Is: The Hyzen is a compact 65 percent layout gaming and productivity keyboard. It features a proprietary hybrid switch design that merges the tactile feedback of a mechanical keyboard with the adjustable actuation and ultra low latency of a magnetic sensor.


KEY FEATURES

  • Hybrid Nexus Switches: Developed in collaboration with Kailh, these hot swappable switches integrate traditional metal leaves with a magnetic TMR (Tunneling Magnetoresistance) sensor, providing the satisfying bounce of a mechanical switch alongside 0.01mm adjustable actuation.

  • Premium Aluminum Build: The keyboard case is meticulously carved from a single, solid block of premium aluminum using CNC milling. It utilizes a gasket mounted design to eliminate metallic resonance and hollow echoes for a refined sound profile.

  • Dual Mode Toggle: With a simple shortcut command, users can instantly switch between a comfortable "Mechanical Mode" for typing during the workday and an ultra responsive "Magnetic Mode" for elite level gaming.

  • Visual F-Row Toggle: To solve the missing F-key problem of 65 percent layouts, a unique side knob allows you to switch the number row into function keys. Top mounted LED indicators instantly illuminate to show exactly which mode is active.

  • Ultra Fast Performance: Powered by the advanced Nordic nRF54L series chipset, the Hyzen supports a blistering 8,000Hz polling rate in both wired and wireless modes, reducing latency to a near instant 0.125ms.

  • Massive Battery Life: The wireless model packs an incredibly large 10,000mAh battery, designed to provide up to 80 hours of continuous use on a single charge.

  • Lofree Hub App: A dedicated software suite gives users surgical control over their hardware, allowing for easy configuration of Rapid Trigger sensitivity, Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS), and SOCD settings.


REWARDS

  • Kickstarter Pricing: Early backers can secure the wired version of the Hyzen for a VIP price of 169 dollars (a massive discount from the planned 279 dollar retail price) or the Tri-Mode wireless version for 189 dollars.

  • Options: Backers can choose between Silver and Space Gray colorways, and select either a wired only model or the Tri-Mode version which supports 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and wired connections.

  • Delivery: The campaign launched in late April 2026 and quickly gained traction. Once the funding period concludes, the team will use Pledgebox surveys to finalize options and coordinate global fulfillment to backers.


CONCEPT

The core concept is Compromise Free Performance. Lofree recognized that users were constantly forced to choose between the tactile joy of a custom mechanical keyboard and the competitive speed of a Hall Effect gaming keyboard. By engineering a hybrid switch architecture from the ground up, the Hyzen aims to bridge that gap entirely, offering a device that excels at both deep work and high stakes competitive play.


INSPIRATION

Lofree is a brand well known in the enthusiast space for their aesthetically pleasing, low profile mechanical keyboards like the Flow and Edge series. Watching the explosive rise of magnetic gaming keyboards, the team noticed a recurring complaint from the community: the typing feel of standard magnetic switches often felt hollow or unrewarding. Inspired to fix this, they combined their expertise in premium CNC metal construction and gasket mounting with cutting edge TMR magnetic technology to create a beautifully minimalist keyboard that hides a revolutionary, hybrid soul.
