ErgoDox FT: 76 Key Split Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard, Wired
Product Details
ErgoDox FT, the keyboard everything started with
The first keyboard I ever built, back in 2013, was an ErgoDox. I downloaded the PCB files from the open-source project, soldered ten of them on the table in my brother's dining room, and that is how FalbaTech began. This model has been in my range without a break for twelve years.
Seventy-six keys, the largest thumb cluster of anything I build and a full set of modifiers on both sides. It is the most complete split keyboard I make.
My name is Jan Falba. Since 2014 I have built every keyboard here myself: I mill the case on my own CNC, solder the electronics, test it on macOS, Windows and Linux, and pack it for shipping. Yours gets built once you order it.
Who the ErgoDox is for
- You want the maximum number of keys under your fingers and a large thumb cluster.
- You work in shortcut-heavy software: CAD, video editing, an IDE.
- You do not want to compromise on key count.
- You type for many hours a day and want to position your hands and arms more naturally.
Why a split keyboard
A regular keyboard sits your hands too close together and angles your wrists inward. Two independent halves let you place each one shoulder-width apart, exactly where your arms end. There is also room between the halves for a mouse, notebook or tablet.
Add a tilt/tenting kit and the halves angle inward until your thumbs sit higher than your pinkies. This changes the position of your hands and forearms, rather than simply adding a soft pad under your wrists.
Seventy-six keys, six of them under each thumb
The ErgoDox uses a column-staggered ergonomic layout with six keys in each thumb cluster. The thumb is the strongest finger on your hand, and a regular keyboard gives it one key. Here it takes over space, enter, modifiers and layer switching, taking load off your little finger.
A FullHand version with an extended case is available too, if you have large hands or want to rest your whole hand.
Wired only
The ErgoDox comes in a wired version only. It connects over USB-C, runs on an RP2040 controller and is configured in VIAL. No battery, no charging, no latency.
Remap it without compiling firmware
Keys, layers and the main layout functions are changed directly in the VIAL app or ZMK Studio, depending on the version you choose. There is no need to compile firmware yourself, create a GitHub account or wait for a build to finish.
Connect the keyboard, edit the layout and save it. The new configuration works immediately.
Switches you change without soldering
Hot swap sockets mean you change switches without a soldering iron. Switches push in by hand and come out with a simple switch puller.
Eight Cherry MX options, from light 45 g Reds to heavy 70 g clicky Greens. I source them directly from Germany and use genuine Cherry MX switches.
Wood, not moulded plastic
I mill the case from bamboo or acacia on my own CNC. Every piece has different grain, so no two keyboards look alike. Wood softens the sound of typing and feels warmer under your hand than aluminium.
It is hand-finished with two coats of a lacquer also intended for finishing wooden toys. If you prefer a modern look, there is a 3D-printed PETG case in black or white.
Build it your way
Below you choose everything: case version, material, finish, tilt/tenting kit, cables, switches, keycaps, backlighting, even a custom-fit oriBag felt case and a desk pad.
How the two halves work
In the standard FalbaTech configuration the left half connects to your computer and the right half talks to it wirelessly or over a cable, depending on the version. Together they behave as a single keyboard.
If you are after something for one-handed use, there is a separate ErgoDox FT Solo.
One person builds it. The same person repairs it
I mill, solder, sand, finish, test and pack every keyboard myself. I repair every keyboard I have ever built, whether it left this workshop in 2014 or yesterday. You pay for parts and shipping, the work itself is on me.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a wireless version? No, the ErgoDox is available as a wired keyboard only.
What is different about the FullHand version? It has an extended case that lets you rest your whole hand. Good for larger hands.
Do layouts from the internet work with it? Yes, the ErgoDox has one of the best documented layouts among ergonomic keyboards.
Do I need to know how to code? No. You edit the layout visually in the VIAL app or ZMK Studio, depending on the version you choose.
How long does it take to make? The standard lead time is around 15 working days. Every keyboard is built by hand after the order is placed. During busier periods, or when storms cause power outages in the rural area where my workshop is located, it may take slightly longer.
Will I get an invoice? Yes. FalbaTech is a registered Polish business.
