WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
EASY TO ADAPT
This keyboard is really easy to use, and I got used to it much faster than expected. It doesn’t make switching back to a regular keyboard difficult at all. After about a week, my typing speed felt just as good as on a normal keyboard. Even as a beginner, I’m really enjoying it.

SMOOTH TRACKBALL CONTROL
The keyboard feels great to use, and the trackball is just as smooth as I expected. After a short adjustment period, it can almost replace my mouse for everyday tasks. The split layout also makes the desk feel cleaner and more comfortable for long sessions.

EFFORTLESS TYPING COMFORT
It’s really comfortable for typing. My hands barely need to move while typing — most of the work is just done with my fingers, which feels very natural and relaxed. I also moved the function keys to positions I’m more familiar with, so the overall experience has been really enjoyable.
The small screen shows the current key information, so I don’t really have to worry about forgetting what each remapped key does. After getting used to it, typing on it feels great.

Comfortable for Long Typing Sessions
The battery is small but the standby time is surprisingly good. The split layout is very flexible and feels much more comfortable than a traditional keyboard, especially for long typing sessions. The only thing I’m still getting used to is the Esc key position, and I sometimes hit the lower-left keys by mistake when reaching for Ctrl. The internal structure is simple, so I added some foam myself. With Y3X switches, the sound is quite nice.

HEALTHIER TYPING POSTURE
A split layout lets your shoulders stay relaxed and your wrists rest in a more natural position. It helps reduce the cramped feeling of traditional keyboards, especially during long typing sessions.
CONTROL EVERY KEY
Programmable layers, custom shortcuts, and remappable keys give you full control over your workflow. Whether you are coding, writing, editing, or gaming, the keyboard can adapt to the way you work.
LESS REACHING, MORE FLOW
Trackball and compact split layouts keep everything within reach. You can type, navigate, and control your desk setup with less hand movement, creating a cleaner and more focused workspace.
