Reduce painful ulnar deviation by using separate key modules at shoulder width and rotate, and leverage the integrated 26.5-degree tenting mechanism to reduce forearm pronation.

Ergonomic Features:

  • Fully integrated trackball eliminates the need to reach for a mouse to navigate
  • Keys are arranged in vertical columns (rather than staggered) to better reflect the natural motion of your fingers.
  • Separate halves at a shoulder-width position to keep wrists straight and perpendicular to the home row to reduce abduction and ulnar deviation
  • Thumb clusters include frequently used keys such as Enter, Space, Backspace, and more to move the workload away from weaker and overused little fingers to stronger thumbs.
  • Smaller footprint than most keyboards because we eliminated the numeric row and more, so you can type while reducing painful “over-reach.” that is typical with larger, traditional keyboards.

Fully Programmable Layouts

  • Vial Firmware allows you to modify/extend your keyboard to send whatever input you want via a simple combo, key press, or trackball.
  • Fantastic community support providing helpful, encouraging, and kind support and feedback for users and integrators.

Unconventional, yet exceptionally comfortable

As a person switching from the most generic keyboard one can imagine ( staggered + full size ) it was pretty interesting yet a bit challenging idea to switch to such unconventional design of keyboard, it takes time to switch ( especcialy if you switching not from splits ), but it is much more convinient than it looks like, most of buttons are where u expect them, and ability to use not one, but six different buttons with two fingers you ussualy use just for Space bar, is so convinient and easy that after trying you feel betrayed that on most regular keyboards so much space is used by one key.
Ability to modify the keyboard both in software ( qmk, vial... ) and hardware ( changing the looks of case and printing it in any color you want to ) is what is also great.
The only problem for now is mostly lack of more detailed and packed documentation about assembly of the keyboard, but the creator of it always happy to assist in discord so its not a big deal, at least for me.
