Hi everyone, here's some great news!

First of all, we are super excited to announce our official brand name Ticktype!!!

Building on the heritage of our premium custom keyboards brands Owlab, Neo, and Qwertykeys, Ticktype's goal is to bring more precision-engineered pre-built products to consumers, and to increase our brand exposures and impact over the world.

What's even more exciting is the model we are launching, DP104!

The name DP comes from D-Pad — the classic symbol of handheld consoles that defined so many childhood memories.

It stood for something simple yet magical: fun. With just a few buttons, you could control entire worlds.

DP104 carries that same spirit forward. It’s not just about typing — it’s about unlocking creativity, adding a sense of play, and discovering new ways to interact.

Appearance

Design Philosophy

Like the D-Pad itself, the DP Series embraces simplicity — using the most straightforward form to unlock the richest possibilities.

It carries this philosophy through every detail, blending minimalism and technology into its most defining character.

Interactive Pixel Display

On the top-right of the keyboard, we’ve added a pixel display — a playful screen that brings the DP104 to life.

Intuitive Connectivity & System Switches

Everything is designed to be self-explanatory.

A three-way switch on the Type-C panel lets you choose between wired, Bluetooth, or 2.4G modes, while a simple two-way toggle switches instantly between Windows and Mac layouts.

RGB Lighting Performance

When the switch lights, ambient glow, and pixel display come alive together, your entire setup feels ready for action.

Ambient Lighting & Volume Controls

Two ambient light zones sit above the arrow keys — one providing a clean glow, the other reflecting softly off the aluminum surface for a subtle diffusion.

On the left, a pair of buttons gives you effortless control over volume, keeping function and aesthetics perfectly in sync.

Interactive Pixel Display

The Interactive Pixel Display is the most playful feature of the DP104.

There are two control buttons for the interactive pixel display: the left button switches display modes, while the right button cycles through lighting effects.

And, there are a total of six modes for the display,

Custom Pixel Mode

Create your own theme in the driver — choose colors for each key, set animation frames and speed, and make the lighting match your style or mood.

Firework Typing Mode

Each keystroke lights up the screen like a firework — type faster, and the display bursts into a full digital show.

Real-time Typing Mode

As you type, the screen instantly mirrors your latest input — turning the display into your own digital voice.

Audio Reactive Mode

The keyboard reacts to nearby sounds, turning them into rhythmic, dynamic pixel animations that pulse, flow, and dance to the beat.

Scrolling Message Mode

Display up to five custom messages that scroll across the screen — a playful boost while you work or game.

System Status Mode

Everything at a glance — time, battery level, Windows/Mac mode, and Caps Lock status — all clearly shown on the pixel display.

Structure

Exceptional Typing Feel & Sound

Built with a dual-bridge Be-Cu structure and a triple-damping system, DP104 minimizes noise and vibration while delivering a solid, consistent key feel.

The design isolates metal resonance and focuses on the sound for a cleaner, purer typing tone.
