Why 40%? (It's Not About Missing Keys)

The 40% keyboard is designed around one principle: Move keys to your fingers, not fingers to keys.

  • 🚀 Layers replace movement - Numbers, arrows, and functions appear under your fingertips
  • ⏱️ Faster than full-size - No more reaching for distant keys (proven in typing studies)
  • 💡 Designed for flow - Your hands never leave home position

Thumb Cluster Paddle Innovation

60% Less Thumb Movement

This paddle system eliminates awkward thumb stretches:

  • ↘️ Natural resting position - Thumb stays centered over home key
  • 🔄 Lever-action activation - Tilt instead of reach-and-press side keys
  • ⚙️ Customizable resistance - 3D-printable paddle designs

"After using paddles, I can't go back to traditional thumb clusters" - @Martin K.

Technical Specifications

Custom Column Layouts

Each column supports 5-6 switch positions with vertical stagger adjustment to match your finger lengths.

Optimized Thumb Cluster

Improved 3rd key position and optional paddle system reduces thumb movement by 60%.

Palm Buttons

Corner buttons sit low into the palm, comfortable to hold for mods or layer access.

Caseless Design

Low-profile PCB sits directly on your desk (or even on your laptop keyboard without activating keys).

Universal Compatibility

Supports Pro Micro, Elite-C, and Teensy 2.0 controllers. Programmable with QMK or EasyAVR.

Durable Engineering

Integral cable channel prevents damage from accidental cable pulls.

The Build Process

What you'll need: Diodes (1N4148), switches (5-pin Cherry or Alps), microcontroller (Pro Micro/Elite-C), keycaps

What you'll get: A keyboard that actually fits your hands and workflow, not someone else's idea of ergonomics.
