This is the classic Redox, the design that came before my FT revision and still has people who prefer it. Seventy keys, a number row and a full thumb cluster, in a case shape that simply sits better under some hands.
I keep it in the range for two reasons. Some customers know this shape and do not want anything changed. And if you already own a Redox from my workshop and want an identical second one for home or for the office, you need somewhere to get it.
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.
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.
The Redox uses a column-staggered ergonomic layout. Keys sit in straight columns, and each column is offset to match the real length of the finger that reaches it. Your index finger reaches farther, while your pinky has a shorter reach.
The thumb cluster takes over space, enter and the modifiers, the keys a regular keyboard hands to an overworked little finger.
The key layout is identical on both. Same key count, same column placement, same thumb cluster. The difference is in the build.
On the classic Redox the controller sits underneath the PCB. That puts the switches at a height of 18 mm, and the whole keyboard measures 38 mm with keycaps on. On the FT the switches sit at 12 mm, which makes it noticeably lower.
If you are starting from scratch, the lower FT profile will be easier on your wrists. You would pick the classic Redox if you already own one and want an identical second unit, or if you are used to that height.
The key layout is identical in both versions. Same key count, same layers, same muscle memory.
| Feature | Wired | Wireless |
|---|---|---|
| Firmware | VIAL | ZMK |
| Connection | USB-C | Bluetooth LE and USB-C |
| Configuration | VIAL app or compatible browser version | ZMK Studio, browser |
| Controller | RP2040 | nice!nano v2 |
| Power | from the USB cable | two 1000 mAh batteries, each charged separately over USB-C |
The wireless version can also send keystrokes over USB-C when the left half is connected to the computer. Each half has its own 1000 mAh battery, however, and must be charged separately.
The wireless version costs more because each half needs its own controller and its own battery.
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.
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.
I mill the case from bamboo, beech, oak 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.
Below you choose everything: case version, material, finish, OLED screen, tilt/tenting kit, cables, switches, keycaps, backlighting, even a custom-fit oriBag felt case and a desk pad.
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 ReDOX Solo.
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.
Do ReDOX FT parts fit the classic one? Not all of them, because the switches sit at a different height. Write to me with what you need and I will check it for your particular build.
How much taller is it than the FT? The switches sit at 18 mm instead of 12 mm, and the whole keyboard is 38 mm tall with keycaps on.
Do you still service it? Yes. I repair every keyboard I have built, whatever year it is from.
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.
