FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Naya Unveils Naya Connect: The World’s Thinnest Modular Workstation Ecosystem

GRONINGEN, NETHERLANDS. January 13th, Naya today announced Naya Connect, a revolutionary modular input platform designed to reshape how professionals interact with digital environments. Building on the success of the acclaimed Naya Create, Naya Connect combines an ultra-thin 14.9mm mechanical keyboard with a magnetic ecosystem of interchangeable modules, delivering a seamless fusion of typing, navigation, and spatial control.

Traditional peripherals force users to adapt to static hardware. Naya Connect reverses this paradigm, allowing creators, developers, and 3D artists to physically reconstruct their workspace to match their immediate workflow.

“We scrutinized every aspect of the modern desktop to eliminate the friction between intent and action,” said Niclas Bertelsen, CCO of Naya. “With Naya Connect, we aren’t just releasing a keyboard; we are introducing a unified productivity ecosystem where a writer can become a colorist, and a coder can become a 3D modeler, simply by snapping on a new module.”

Infinite Expandability in a Unibody Design

Precision-machined from full aluminum, the Naya Type features a 75% layout utilizing hot-swappable Kailh Choc V2 low-profile mechanical switches. At just 14.9mm thick, it maintains a sleek, ergonomic profile even when expanded. The proprietary magnetic rail system allows users to snap attachments to either side of the chassis instantaneously.

A Modular Ecosystem for Every Creator

Naya Connect launches alongside a suite of specialized modules that function attached to the keyboard or as standalone devices via the Naya Dock:

• Float: A 6-Degrees-of-Freedom (6DoF) controller designed for 3D environments, offering intuitive camera and object manipulation with a base-fitted 2D rotary encoder for extra input mapping.
• Tune: A precision input dial featuring a dynamic haptic motor that adjusts resistance and steps based on software context, paired with a capacitive touch surface.
• Track & Touch: A multi-purpose trackball for smooth value adjustments and a low-latency touchpad that brings high-precision mousing directly to the keyboard’s edge.
• Multipad & 6-Key: Versatile key matrices for macro enthusiasts and data entry professionals.

Naya Flow: Intelligent Control

The hardware is powered by Naya Flow, an intuitive software dashboard that enables drag-and-drop key remapping, complex macro creation, and granular configuration of module settings to fit personal workflows.
