VGN and Blue Arrow Zaoban Announce Limited-Edition Zhuque III Magnetic Switch Keyboard
VGN has announced a new partnership with Blue Arrow Aerospace’s cultural and creative brand, Blue Arrow Zaoban, to introduce a limited-edition version of its Lightning magnetic switch keyboard. The special “Zhuque III” model will debut online on January 5, 2026, marking the first collaboration between the two brands in the keyboard segment.
This upcoming edition centers on a co-branded visual theme that incorporates design elements inspired by Blue Arrow Zaoban’s creative style. The keyboard carries a new paint finish developed specifically for the collaboration, presenting a distinct look compared to the standard Lightning lineup. Alongside the redesigned exterior, VGN has prepared a set of limited-edition metal keycaps tailored for this release, giving the keyboard a more refined appearance and a matching finish across primary keys.
While the Zhuque III model introduces new visual features, it remains based on the original VGN Lightning keyboard framework. The existing Lightning series follows a 75% layout, offering a compact footprint while retaining essential keys for daily use. Its CNC aluminum alloy case provides a solid structure and a durable shell that supports long-term performance. The interior relies on a magnetic levitation system paired with a gasket mount, a combination that helps manage keystroke consistency, sound control, and overall stability.
These internal characteristics have contributed to the Lightning series’ reputation among hobbyists seeking a smooth typing experience. Since VGN has not announced structural changes for the Zhuque III edition, users can expect the same foundation with added creative enhancements from the new partnership.
Early preview images shared by the company highlight the updated color scheme and the metal keycap set shaped around the Zhuque III theme. The co-branded approach focuses on combining VGN’s keyboard engineering with Blue Arrow Zaoban’s design identity, creating a collectible version for both keyboard users and followers of the aerospace brand.
VGN has not yet released details on pricing or special packaging for the limited edition, but the company is expected to share additional information as the launch date approaches. Availability may vary by region depending on distribution plans, as previous VGN releases have differed across markets.
The VGN x Blue Arrow Zaoban Zhuque III magnetic switch keyboard will be sold exclusively through online channels starting January 5, 2026. More updates are expected in the coming weeks as VGN prepares for the limited-edition release.
