COLORFUL Technology Company Limited has introduced the Chitu MAG-60 Magnetic Switch Keyboard, a limited-edition mechanical keyboard inspired by the Chinese zodiac sign of 2026, the Year of the Horse. The new keyboard combines traditional Chinese design elements with modern magnetic switch technology, bringing a collector-focused option for keyboard enthusiasts, gamers, and fans of custom mechanical keyboards.
The Chitu MAG-60 takes its name from Chitu (赤兔), the legendary Red Hare horse from Chinese history and folklore. COLORFUL designed the keyboard around the theme of the famous horse, using traditional patterns and premium materials to create a unique appearance. Only 300 units of the keyboard will be produced worldwide, making it a limited release aimed at collectors.
The keyboard features a vermilion-red finish inspired by classic Chinese seal artwork, along with horse carvings from the Han Dynasty and cloud-inspired decorative patterns. The design combines cultural references with a modern gaming keyboard layout, creating a product that focuses on both appearance and performance.
The Chitu MAG-60 uses a premium Alcantara suede top cover that is handcrafted for a soft and refined surface. The keyboard also includes full-grain leather side accents and embossed cloud patterns that add more detail to the exterior. The internal structure is built around a CNC-machined T6 aluminum chassis with a multi-layer anodized finish for durability.
COLORFUL has also added several collector-focused features, including:
- Laser-engraved individual serial numbers
- Two custom metal artisan keycaps with horse-themed engravings
- Limited production of 300 units worldwide
- Chitu-inspired artwork on the bottom case

For the switch system, the Chitu MAG-60 uses custom TTC Year of the Horse “White Horse” Magnetic Switches. These switches are designed with a triple-layer acoustic structure to improve sound and typing feel. The magnetic switch design also includes custom rare-earth magnets, transparent housing for RGB lighting effects, and a rated lifespan of up to 100 million keystrokes.
Other keyboard features include:
- Five-sided dye-sublimated PBT keycaps
- Top-mount suspended structure

The keyboard supports 22 lighting effects, 16.8 million colors, and motherboard RGB synchronization.
The keyboard uses a compact 60% layout to save desk space while keeping essential controls available. It supports both Windows and macOS, allowing users to switch between gaming, work, and daily computing tasks.
COLORFUL will launch the limited-edition Chitu MAG-60 Magnetic Keyboard on June 30 with a price tag of RMB 2,399.
