**The Naya Connect: Because Solving a Problem That Doesn’t Exist Should Cost at Least $400**

In a world where people struggle to decide what to have for dinner, Naya has swooped in to solve a much more pressing crisis: the inability to commit to a single keyboard layout. The Naya Connect has arrived, promising a modular “ecosystem” for the terminally indecisive. Because why have one functional, sturdy keyboard when you can have four separate components held together by magnets and prayers?

**The “Six-Minute” Success Story**
The article gleefully reports that the Naya Connect hit its funding goal in just six minutes. Let’s pause for a moment of silence for the “minuscule” funding goal—a classic Kickstarter tactic where you set the bar so low a Roomba could clear it, just so you can blast “1,000% FUNDED IN MINUTES” in your next press release. It’s the venture capital equivalent of a participation trophy, and yet, the tech world laps it up like it’s a revolutionary breakthrough in human-computer interaction.

**Modularity: Decision Paralysis as a Service**
The central claim here is that modularity is the cure for indecision. In reality, the Naya Connect is a physical manifestation of an existential crisis. The “Naya Type” is a 75% low-profile mechanical keyboard—a layout already designed for people who want most of a keyboard but not *too* much of it. But wait, there’s more! You can add a 24-key multipad, a six-key programmable strip, and a dock.

By the time you’ve finished “connecting” your ideal setup, your desk looks less like a workstation and more like the cockpit of a 1970s Soviet submarine. If you’re truly so indecisive that you can’t pick a layout, giving you four separate modules to arrange is like giving a pyromaniac a box of matches and a gallon of gasoline and telling them to “find their vibe.”

**Low-Profile Switches: All the Clack, None of the Travel**
The Naya Type utilizes low-profile mechanical switches. It’s the perfect solution for the person who wants the tactile feedback of a mechanical keyboard but misses the finger-bottoming pain of a 2016 MacBook Pro butterfly switch. It’s the “diet soda” of the peripheral world—all the chemical aftertaste with none of the satisfaction.

**The Programmable Strip: Six Keys to Nowhere**
Perhaps the most “innovative” piece is the six-key programmable strip. In an era where Elgato Stream Decks exist and keyboard layers are a standard feature in any decent QMK/VIA-compatible board, Naya is betting that you’ll want to pay a premium for six extra physical buttons. It’s a bold assumption that the average user has six specialized tasks they perform so frequently they can’t possibly be bothered to hit a “Function” key, yet they have the mental bandwidth to manage a modular “ecosystem” of disparate plastic blocks.

**The “Flexible” Ecosystem Trap**
The article assumes that flexibility is inherently virtuous. However, anyone who has ever owned a modular device—from the Phonebloks concept to the ill-fated LG G5—knows exactly how this ends: with a drawer full of proprietary modules that no longer connect to anything because the company decided the “Connect 2.0” needed a slightly different magnetic pin alignment.

Naya’s previous success with the “Create” (the split-deck version) proves there is a market for “weird keyboards.” But the Connect isn’t just weird; it’s a solution in search of a problem. It’s for the person who wants to spend more time rearranging their desk than actually typing on it. If you find yourself needing a 24-key multipad *and* a 6-key strip *and* a dock just to send an email, the problem isn’t your keyboard—it’s your workflow.

But hey, at least it’s “modular.” If you realize the whole thing is an over-engineered mess, you can always use the modules as very expensive, high-tech paperweights.
