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.

The keyboard also comes with a few unique and interesting design features that are meant to give a better typing experience. The company also says that the product is made from 6063 aluminum alloy frame.

The company is set to start production of the CYBERBOARD Mechanical Keyboard from next month while shipments are expected to begin from October this year. As for the pricing, the early bird pricing for the keyboard is around $410.

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.

Last year, Li Nan, China-based smartphone maker Meizu’s co-founder and Vice President, resigned from the company. At that time, he had said that he would focus on the consumer market and developing new brands.

Today, he has announced the launch of its new company — Numiao Technology aka Angry Miao Technology. The company has also confirmed that it will hold a press conference later this month.

The online press conference, which is scheduled to take place on 26th August, could see the first batch of devices getting launched by the company. However, we are not yet sure what the devices are.

Not just devices, it is not yet known what the focus of the company will be. It is unlikely that the company will be launching smartphones as it could violate non-compete contracts given that Li Nan was a Vice President at Meizu just a year back.

As per the reports coming from the Chinese media, the company has received millions of dollars in investment from Meituan Dragon Ball Capital. However, this has not been confirmed by the company. It is also being reported that the focus of this new brand by Li Nan will be towards the younger audience.

Li Nan had co-founded Meizu along with Bai Yongxiang who is the CEO and Huang Zhang (Jack Wong). The company started as an MP3 player manufacturer before switching to making smartphones in 2008. Its portfolio is quite diverse now but phones remain the company’s major source of revenue.
