Endorfy’s newest keyboard isn’t just about cutting clutter, it’s about reinventing interaction. Debuting at CES and now taking centre stage at Computex 2025, Celeris 1800 introduces a unique SideTune rocker on its flank, bringing smartphone-style volume and macro control to the desktop. It’s one of those features that makes you wonder why no one’s done it sooner.
What looks like a traditional compact 1800 layout (full-size functionality without the wasted space) hides a wealth of engineering and usability upgrades. SideTune is the headline act: a side-mounted control bar that works like your phone’s volume rocker, letting you tweak audio or trigger macros without lifting your mouse hand. It’s fully programmable via Endorfy’s software and already feels like something other keyboards should be copying. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good face-mounted wheel, but taking the ‘out of sight, out of mind’ route makes for a far cleaner look.
The typing experience itself is anything but standard. Endorfy has worked with Gateron to develop exclusive pre-lubed Yellow switches. These linear switches feature a dual-stage spring and dual-rail construction for a buttery-smooth keystroke and a satisfyingly deep sound profile. If these aren’t to your taste, you can hot-swap them out for something quintessentially more you. Inside, two silicone dampening layers and a rigid FR4 plate eliminate hollowness and flex, giving each press a solid, refined feel. Even the nine-layer snap-fit chassis – held together without a single screw – has been tuned for acoustic harmony and comfort.
Connectivity is just as refined. Whether you’re wired in, rocking the 2.4 GHz dongle, or juggling up to three Bluetooth connections, Celeris 1800 lets you pair with five devices at once. A side-mounted switch makes toggling seamless, and battery life reaches up to 120 hours. macOS users are also well catered for with pre-printed key legends and alternate keycaps for Cmd and Opt.
Finished in Alt Gray with subtle flair, the keyboard isn’t trying to scream gamer but it has come to play. If you want more control, the optional Endorfy software adds remapping, RGB tweaks, and macro recording.
All in all, Celeris 1800 isn’t just another compact mechanical keyboard. It’s a focused rethink of what daily interaction with your PC could look like, and it might just change how you use your keyboard altogether.
Endorfy ARX 700 White ARGB
Not alone on the Taipei show floor, Celeris 1800 is accompanied by ARX 700 White ARGB, an unpigmented revision of its sleek mid-tower chassis. Dotted with four pre-installed Stratus 140 PWM ARGB fans that are similarly bleached, it’s a spacious case clad in tempered glass and perforated mesh designed for airflow enthusiasts and showcases alike.
