Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for orders to arrive?

All built orders, orders with soldering are made-to-order and will be entered into the build queue, the latest schedule will be posted on the Changelog.

Normally, this would mean orders will take between 10 to 14 days depending on when you order and how large the build queue is. Historically, we are able to deliver under 7-days for 80% of the orders.

What split keyboard do you recommend?

The short and difficult answer is, it depends on your commitment level, we outline that in depth here in this guide.

We often recommend the Lily58 for 65% keyboard users because it has the most keys with the least compromises to ergonomics, it is also a great starting point for those used to larger keyboard. It allows users to get used to the smaller, split, and columnar staggered layout.

For 40% keyboard users, we recommend the Corne, Fifi or Sweep, as it further challenges them to optimize their keymap and improve their typing habits.

Our keyboard recommendations are guided by typing goals such as comfort, speed, and efficiency—not medical conditions. We do not and will not recommend keyboards as treatment, prevention, or solutions for RSI, injury, or any other health condition. To be clear, we are not aware of any formal medical research that supports the use of ergonomic keyboards, including ours, for such purposes. If you are experiencing pain or symptoms, we strongly recommend consulting a licensed healthcare professional.

What MCU/OLED daughterboard socketing?

Socketing is our cost-effective way of making MCUs and OLEDs hotswap-ready, upgraded or sidegraded with other flavors of MCUs. This also means you can reuse your MCUs on other keyboards.

When will you carry so and so keyboard designs?

We often get asked when we will carry certain keyboard designs. The issue is that not all split keyboards are designed the same, some split keyboards miss the mark by adding features or keys that encourage poor typing ergonomics. The keyboards that we have on the site are the ones that don’t forget their objectives, to promote healthy typing habits. We have used these keyboards and are confident that you will see benefits.

Are your keyboard’s switches hotswap? Why do the options say soldered?

When we say soldered, we mean the components and sockets except the switches are soldered onto the keyboard’s PCB. For all our designs, switches will always be hotswap, so are the MCUs and OLEDs.
