Design and Build Quality
Named after the legendary warhorse Chitu (Red Hare), the keyboard features aesthetics drawn from Han Dynasty horse carvings, auspicious cloud motifs, and a vermilion-red finish mirroring traditional Chinese seal art.
- Materials: The top cover uses imported Alcantara suede with embossed cloud patterns, paired with hand-finished, full-grain leather side accents.
- Chassis: The frame is built from CNC-machined T6 aluminum with a multi-layer anodized finish. The bottom case features custom Chitu-themed artwork.
- Collectibility: Each of the 300 units includes laser-engraved individual serial numbering and two custom metal artisan keycaps with horse engravings.
Switches and Acoustics
The Chitu MAG-60 debuts the exclusive TTC Year of the Horse “White Horse” Magnetic Switches. These switches incorporate an industry-first triple-layer customized acoustic module built directly into the magnetic housing to produce a crisp sound profile.
- Switch Specs: Built with custom rare-earth permanent magnets, high-transparency housings for RGB illumination, and a lifespan of up to 100 million keystrokes. Keycaps are durable, five-sided dye-sublimated PBT.
- Internal Structure: The keyboard utilizes a top-mount suspended architecture combined with four layers of sound-dampening material to eliminate case resonance.
TMR Technology and Gaming Performance
For competitive esports, the Chitu MAG-60 bypasses conventional Hall-effect sensors in favor of advanced Tunnel Magnetoresistance – similar to this keyboard. This shift improves thermal stability and resistance to external interference.
- Precision: Offers 0.005 mm Rapid Trigger (RT) precision and intelligent anti-mistouch protection.
- Speed: Operates at an 8,000H z polling rate with a 0.125 ms response latency.
- Efficiency: TMR technology reduces sensor power consumption by up to 90% compared to standard magnetic alternatives while delivering threefold greater thermal stability.
Customization and Layout
Configuration is handled via COLORFUL’s web-browser driver platform, removing the need for dedicated software installations. Gamers can modify actuation distance, Rapid Trigger thresholds, macros, and the 22 built-in RGB lighting modes (supporting 16.8 million colors and motherboard sync).
The compact 60% form factor optimizes desktop space for low-sensitivity mouse movements, and the hardware features native cross-platform compatibility for both Windows and macOS.
