Its chassis is crafted from 6063 aluminum with a refined 220-grit finish, giving the keyboard a premium feel and a clean, modern appearance. The compact 66-key ANSI layout saves valuable desk space while retaining the essential keys needed for gaming and everyday productivity.
One of the standout features of the NUT65 is its tri-mode connectivity, allowing users to connect through USB Type-C wired mode, Bluetooth, or 2.4GHz wireless. Its powerful 6000mAh battery is designed for extended wireless use, while support for multiple paired devices makes switching between different systems convenient. The keyboard also supports hot-swappable switches, QMK/VIA customization, N-Key Rollover, dual gasket mounting, and customizable RGB lighting. A rhythm-reactive RGB lightbar adds an eye-catching visual element that can react to sound and keystrokes.
With its tool-free ball-catch construction, pogo-pin internal connection, silicone cushioning, and multiple gasket mounting options, the Weikav NUT65 is also designed with keyboard modding and customization in mind. Please note that the NUT65 is a barebone keyboard kit, so switches and keycaps are not included.

Premium 6063 Aluminum Construction
The Weikav NUT65 uses a high-quality 6063 aluminum chassis with a finely processed 220-grit surface finish. The aluminum body provides excellent structural rigidity while giving the keyboard the premium weight and feel commonly associated with enthusiast-grade custom keyboards. Depending on the version, anodized and electrophoretic finishes are available for different visual styles.
Tri-Mode Wireless Connectivity
With Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB Type-C wired connectivity, the NUT65 can easily adapt to gaming, productivity, and multi-device setups. It supports switching across up to five paired devices, making it especially convenient for users working between PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
6000mAh Large Capacity Battery
A built-in 6000mAh battery provides extended wireless operation, reducing the need for frequent charging. The keyboard also features a discreet wireless power switch positioned beneath the Tab key, keeping the exterior design clean while allowing quick access when required.
Dual Gasket Mounting System
The NUT65 comes with a PCB-mounted gasket configuration and also supports included plate-mounted gaskets for users who prefer a firmer and more responsive typing experience. This dual-gasket approach allows enthusiasts to customize the typing feel according to personal preference.
Rhythm-Reactive RGB Lighting
Beyond standard customizable per-key lighting, the Weikav NUT65 includes a distinctive rhythm-reactive RGB lightbar. The lighting system can react to sounds, typing, and ambient audio, creating a more dynamic desktop aesthetic. The rhythm lighting can also be disabled when a cleaner and more minimal appearance is preferred.
QMK/VIA and Hot-Swap Customization
The NUT65 provides excellent customization flexibility with QMK, VIA, and Weikav’s own software support. Users can customize key assignments and lighting behavior without being limited to the default configuration. Its hot-swappable PCB also allows compatible mechanical switches to be installed or replaced without soldering, making experimentation with different switch types much easier.
Tool-Free Ball-Catch & Pogo Pin Design
A tool-free ball-catch case structure makes opening the keyboard simple, while pogo-pin connections eliminate the need for fragile ribbon cables between the main PCB and daughterboard. This design makes maintenance, modification, and internal adjustments more convenient for custom keyboard enthusiasts.
