Hi,
This is nine-fox from China. Here comes my recent
works. Hope you like it.
This is a wireless mechanical
keyboard. Usb type-c line mode is also supported. What you
see is just a rendering.
Features/technical
information:
- Wireless split keyboard. Left hand and right hand are communicating using Bluetooth 5 (Bluetooth Low Energy 5 exactly)
- Each switch has RGB back-lighting. The keyboard back-lighting is also supported
- Mouse stick module is optional. It is using hot pogo pins. So feel free to detach/plug any time
- 6061 aluminium top case, and PC material bottom case. So no need to worry the Bluetooth signal issue
- Mother board and child board design. The mother board(known as dock station) is optional
-
Type-c USB interface
7° typing angle
- Hot-plugging for all switches
- Magnet design for child keyboard and mother dock station
- Tr. is short for ‘Transformers’
- Designed and made in China
-
More features coming soon at

About the layout:
Every key is standard except: - left hand bottom line is 1.25x, 1.25x, 1.25x, 3x
-
right hand bottom line is 3x, 1.25x, 1x, 1x, 1x, 1x, 1x
Some pics to describe how it works. Since the design is a
bit complex, not sure I make it clear. Leave a message if
you do not understand. I will reply as soon as possible. By
the way, I am single one man team, I worked on all things
including case design, logo design, website design,
firmware, nine-fox layout editor, renders, even graphics
design and posting. So please be patient if I reply late
:-)
The main feature of this keyboard is that, the left
and right hand are communicating using BLE5. The key
information will be transfered between them using a complex
algorithm. I may post more info once prototype is done.
Some pics to describe the layout editor. It is /not/
QMK, or TMK. I began to write this firmware 2 years ago. The
reason why I didn’t use QMK is that, it is not bluetooth
optimized. That’s to say, if you want longer battery life,
you need to start a new one. Atmega32u4 is too old and high
cost under wireless environment. What’s more, the other
critical limitation is that, it DOES NOT support split
architecture.
Please note, the pics here are Chinese
language based, and it is still under development. I will
add international support when released. What you see in the
pics (yoda keyboard with trackpoint) is another keyboard I
developed 1 year ago. That’s another story. Take a look at
nine-fox.com/yoda if you are interested.
The features
for this NINE-FOX Editor:
- No firmware download if you want to change the key mapping. Firmware download only happens when an upgrade happens
- Supports Windows, Mac and Linux
- Totally new designed user interface
- Script programming using Javascript (will be support by upgrading channel after the keyboard released, its still under development)
-
Audio sound RGB effect probably will be supported (in
plan)
