Product Description Overview
The Armaggeddon MKA‑1C Neo (Tactile) is a compact 61-key mechanical gaming keyboard that offers full mechanical switch performance in a space-saving form factor. From the respected brand Armaggeddon, known for delivering value-focused gaming peripherals, this model brings solid build quality, customizable lighting, and hot-swappable tactile switch support in one affordable package.
Key Specifications & Highlights
The MKA-1C Neo features tactile mechanical switches (available in tactile “Brown” style) with a hot-swappable socket design so you can replace switches without soldering. It offers a compact 61-key layout with USB-Type-C cable connectivity (1.5 m) and USB-Type-A interface. The keyboard supports 5-zone multicolour LED backlighting with 11 preset lighting effects and adjustable brightness. The keycaps use KevlarTech material for durability with a lifetime-fade-proof legend guarantee. The keyboard is rated for up to 20 million keystrokes and supports up to 21-key anti-ghosting for reliable performance.
Performance Summary
In real-world use, reviews highlight that the MKA-1C Neo tactile variant performs well for its price tier: tactile feedback gives a satisfying key feel for both gaming and typing, and the compact layout frees up desk space for mouse movement. The hot-swappable switch design adds upgrade flexibility. Some users note that the 61-key layout omits dedicated arrow keys and navigation block, which may require adjustment for users accustomed to full-size keyboards. Build materials are strong for the price, though premium features like dedicated media controls or dual-layer sound-dampening are not present.
Consumer Appeal
This keyboard is ideal for gamers, streamers and everyday users who want mechanical switch performance in a minimalist, space-efficient form. If you prioritise tactile feedback, desk space for mouse movement, and the option to swap switches in future, the MKA-1C Neo tactile edition offers compelling value. It’s especially suitable for students, budget-focused gamers, or compact setup environments where full-size keyboards would be oversized.
Availability & Notes
Availability, price, switch variant (tactile vs clicky vs linear), colour options and layout (US/UK) for the MKA-1C Neo may vary by region. Some features—like backlight presets or hot-swap compatibility—may differ slightly depending on version or distribution. It’s recommended to check authorised Armaggeddon retailers or the official regional store for the latest specifications, stock status and compatibility details.
