Appearance Design

Introducing the Neo65 Core Plus from Neo Studio: a 65% keyboard refined through our O-ring and gasket dual-mounting structure. We've added a 3D copper weight into the unibody aluminium case and meticulously tuned its internal structure for better acoustics. The result is a natural, foam-free sound and a crisp, responsive keystroke experience that elevates every session without extra bulk.

Unibody Case

Minimalism guides our design philosophy. The Neo65 Core Plus, like its predecessor Neo65, features ultra-slim side bezels that integrate seamlessly with any desk setup, regardless of theme.

Neat Side Profile

The inward-sloping edge complements the front's minimal design while making the keyboard easier to lift and handle.

Weight with Orbit Engraved Logo

The engraved orbit logo on the weight builds on the Neo65’s design, adding just a few extra details to showcase the Core Plus series upgrade.

Acoustics Performance You Can Trust

Experience a crisper, brighter sound profile with the Neo65 Core Plus. We've perfected the bottom case's sound chamber using resonance principles and precision port placement to eliminate hollow echoes. Unlike the deeper tones of a copper bottom case like Neo65 Cu, this aluminium version creates a bright, lively tone—making every keystroke sounds more refreshing.

The substantial 3D copper weight on the Neo65 Core Plus anchors the keyboard both visually and functionally, dampening unwanted vibrations during typing. This adds a delightfully solid heft compared to the previous Neo65 and delivers a purer, more transparent key-on-case tone—all without requiring any foam.

Upgraded Aluminium & CF Plates

Both our aluminium and CF plates now feature a redesigned layout with a strategic slot above the spacebar. This slot helps absorb impact, reducing collision noise and wobble, while improving flexibility. The result is a more consistent typing feel between the spacebar and the rest of the keys.

Dual-Mounting System with Upgraded Gasket

• Support both PCB gasket mount and gummy O-ring mount (not compatible with plateless configurations)
• Our specially designed gaskets make installing the PCB and plate assembly into the case significantly easier
• The sloped-slot on the gasket distributes pressure evenly across the surface instead of concentrating it at one point, providing consistent cushioned rebound and stable support with every keystroke

Craftsmanship Elevated

We’ve elevated our anodizing process to achieve an ultra-fine, silky finish. With higher mesh count of sandblasting, you’ll notice and appreciate the premium look and feel from every angle and touch.

Lock-n-Pull Mechanism + Magnetic Connectors

One of the most significant improvements to the Neo65 Core Plus is the addition of a pogo-pin connector, addressing a common concern with the original Neo65. This connector enables quick PCB removal without risking damage to the cable.

We've also integrated a PCB/Plate puller with an included tool, making upgrades and customization significantly more straightforward. These thoughtful enhancements provide you with greater flexibility to modify your Neo65 Core Plus according to your preferences.
