Split Ergonomic Keyboard

Experience the ultimate typing comfort with Keychron's split ergonomic keyboard collection. 

Designed to reduce strain and increase productivity, our split keyboards allow you to position each half at the perfect angle for your body. Discover how our advanced ergonomic keyboard designs can transform your typing experience and help prevent repetitive strain injuries.

The Ergonomic Split Keyboard Advantage: Strain-Free, Pain-Free Typing

Split ergonomic keyboards represent the pinnacle of typing comfort. 

By separating the keyboard into two independent halves, you can position each section to match your natural arm and shoulder width. This design eliminates the need to bend your wrists inward (ulnar deviation) while typing – a common cause of discomfort and repetitive strain injuries.

Our split keyboards enable you to:

• Maintain a neutral wrist position throughout the day
• Reduce shoulder tension by positioning each half at shoulder width
• Type for longer periods with significantly less fatigue

Customizable Positioning Exactly For You

No two typists are alike, which is why our split ergonomic keyboards offer unparalleled customization options. Each keyboard in our collection allows you to adjust the positioning to suit your unique body mechanics.

The ability to separate and adjust the positioning of each keyboard half creates a setup perfectly matched to your natural posture. This level of personalization helps reduce strain for users with different shoulder widths and is especially valuable for those recovering from wrist injuries.

People who type for extended periods will appreciate how our keyboards can be configured to prevent fatigue and potential repetitive strain issues. With adjustable tilting via magnetic connection parts, you can find the exact position that works best for your body.

Our split keyboards also feature fully programmable layouts through QMK/VIA software, giving you complete control over your typing experience.

Frequently Asked Questions about Split Ergonomic Keyboards

What is the best split ergonomic keyboard?

The Keychron Q11 offers an exceptional balance of ergonomic benefits, build quality, and customization options. With its solid aluminum construction, adjustable positioning, and hot-swappable switches, it provides everything most users need for a comfortable typing experience. The Q11's QMK/VIA programmability also gives you complete control over your keyboard's functionality.

Are split keyboards really ergonomic?

Yes, split keyboards offer genuine ergonomic benefits backed by research. Traditional keyboards force your wrists to bend outward and pronate your forearms, while split keyboards allow your arms, wrists, and hands to maintain a more natural alignment. By positioning each half at shoulder width and adjusting the angle, you can significantly reduce the physical stress of typing.

Who benefits from a split keyboard?

Split keyboards benefit virtually anyone who types regularly, but they're especially valuable for professionals who type for extended periods and people with existing wrist discomfort. They're ideal for users with broader shoulders who feel cramped on standard keyboards and anyone interested in preventing repetitive strain injuries. Gamers and office workers also appreciate the customizable positioning for extended comfort during long sessions.

Is a split keyboard better for carpal tunnel?

Split keyboards can be beneficial for carpal tunnel syndrome as they allow you to maintain a more neutral wrist position while typing. By adjusting each half's position and angle, you can reduce the wrist extension and ulnar deviation that often contribute to carpal tunnel pressure. While not a medical treatment, many users with carpal tunnel symptoms report relief when switching to an ergonomic split design.
