This is the ReDOX FT with low-profile Kailh Choc v1 switches. Same 70 key layout, same thumb cluster, same ergonomics, only noticeably lower and shallower.
A lower profile changes two things. Your finger travels a shorter distance on every press, which adds up over a few thousand keystrokes a day. Your wrist also sits closer to the surface of the desk, so you need less support underneath it to keep it straight.
My name is Jan Falba. Since 2014 I have built every keyboard here myself, and yours gets built once you order it.
Until now the switch plate was milled in one piece with the top of the case. At the thickness low-profile switches need, that meant cutting almost all of the material away.
The wooden case is now a frame with mounting points, and the switches are held by a separate 3D-printed PETG plate with a carbon-fibre finish. The build is stiffer and the hot swap sockets survive more switch changes.
Choc is a different family from Cherry MX: a lower housing, shorter travel and different key spacing. Tactile and linear options are available. Hot swap works the same way, so switches push in by hand and come out with a puller, no soldering iron.
Keycaps are FlatKey Pro, 3D-printed from PETG in my workshop. They have a shallow dish for your fingertip and chamfered edges, so your finger finds the centre of the key without looking.
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.
| 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.
Keys, layers and the main layout functions are changed directly in the VIAL app or ZMK Studio, depending on the version you choose. Connect the keyboard, edit the layout and save it.
I mill the frame from bamboo or acacia on my own CNC and hand-finish it with two coats of a lacquer also intended for finishing wooden toys. A full PETG version is available too, in black or white.
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 FT Low Profile Solo.
I mill, solder, sand, finish, test and pack every keyboard myself. I repair every keyboard I have ever built. You pay for parts and shipping only.
How is Choc different from Cherry MX? Choc is lower, has shorter travel and different key spacing. MX keycaps do not fit it.
Can I switch to Cherry MX later? Not in the same case. It is a separate build, so the profile is a decision you make at the start.
How long does it take to make? The standard lead time is around 15 working days.
