Former Meizu VP Li Nan last year floated his own start-up last year known as Angry Miao Technology. One of the major business concerns of the firm is the manufacture of computer accessories including mechanical keyboards.

The brand has unveiled a new wireless mechanical keyboard dubbed Angry Miao Cyberboard R3. The keyboard is designed to have an amazing aesthetic appeal apart from ergonomics which is a key feature of mechanical keyboards. To be candid, the wireless keyboard adopts a retro-styled design with prominent keys and a slight elevation which removes the need for a tilting stand.

The keyboard comes in four attractive colors — Pink, Green, White and Black colors. Of course, the pink hue is targeted at the female folks but may likely be appealing to males as well considering the divergent colors that some of the key sets get. The new color scheme is said to have been inspired by Wes Anderson, an American filmmaker better known for his deployment of symmetry, eccentricity, and distinctive visuals in his films.

Furthermore, the Cyberboard R3 features a customizable lighting effect, new RGB hardware as well as 256-level DC dimming. The keyboard is also scratch-resistant and has an electronic display at the back which shows the battery level. The keyboard charges via a USB-C port.

As for the prices, the three color options of Pink, Green, and Black will retail for 3,600 yuan (~$564) while the white variant is priced at 3,900 yuan (~$611). For now, the keyboard is available in China only but we expect Li Nan’s startup to make inroads into other markets soon.

We recently reported that Li Nan, co-founder and former Vice President of Meizu, founded a new company named Numiao Technology aka Angry Miao. While announcing the new brand, he had said that the new product will be unveiled soon.

Now, it has been confirmed that the first product from the company is a mechanical keyboard. The product, which is named CYBERBOARD, has a design which is reportedly inspired by Tesla‘s Cybertruck.

The CYBERBOARD mechanical keyboard is now up for crowdfunding on Indiegogo. At the time of writing this article, the campaign has already fulfilled 375 percent of its initial goal of raising around $20,000.

It is claimed to be the world’s first custom LED panel keyboard and comes with 200 LED lamp beads and specific chips for programmed lighting effects. The company is also offering a unique web interface for DIY configuration.

This new company by Li Nan has reportedly received millions of dollars in investment from Meituan Dragon Ball Capital. However, this has not been confirmed by the company. The focus of the brand is towards the younger audience, as evident from its first product.
