Orbit-X
Ergonomic keyboard by ai03
Latest

here
Small board, bold design. Orbit-X unites a
comfortable ergonomic layout with a high-end CNC-milled case
to create a luxurious experience thats easy to learn and
enjoyable to use.
Ready By Design
An unusual layout can be
daunting to use, especially if coming from something very
different.
Orbit-X has been designed specifically to be
easy to migrate to, regardless of what your current layout
preferences are.
Typical modifier key placements means
your fingers move where they should.
A carefully
devised layout makes use of symmetric key placements to keep
layout memorization to an absolute minimum while offering
functionality comparable to a board as large as a TKL.
Tailored to You
The Orbit-X layout packs in
function as close to the home position as possible to
minimize finger movement.
The bottom row modifiers
allow for easy migration from typical keyboard layouts, and
the thumb cluster is reduced to two keys to reduce thumb
strain as much as possible.
A top-mounted polycarbonate
plate matches the layout with the typing comfort
required.
The case is designed with light-catching
curves that adorn the front and rear, paired with strong
straight sides that give the tiny board a daring look well
beyond its size.
The “screwless” internal screw design
hides all screws out of sight once assembled, leaving the
curvatures unbroken even on the bottom.
A specially
designed polycarbonate wristrest matches the Orbit-Xs
aesthetic perfectly while supporting your wrists for the
most demanding typing sessions.
The do-everything keyboard
Just as the layout is
tailored to the hand, the entire board can be tailored to
your preferences.
Leave the supplied foam layer out for
the extreme flex and typing comfort of a top-mounted
polycarbonate plate, or drop it in to obtain maximized
acoustics rare for a board of this size.
Both halves
have a USB-C connector, so you can pick which one to use
based on which is convenient for your cable.
The
wristrests can be placed in front of the board for extended
typing sessions, or removed to maximize desk estate.
If
you only need one hands worth of keys for a task, you can
plug in only one half of Orbit-X and extend available desk
space even further.
