PHENOM / ERGONOMIC KEYBOARD SYSTEM

CONFIGURED
FOR
FLOW

MODULAR / CURVED / MECHANICAL

A configurable ergonomic system that brings typing, navigation, and media control into one powerful, faster desktop workflow.

Ergonomic system

Designed for a more natural hand position and less strain over long sessions

Split stance / Reach reduction / Long-session fit

Phenom separates the two halves so your arms and wrists can stay in a more open position. The curved 3D shape follows natural finger reach, reducing awkward stretching and making the board feel easier to settle into over long sessions.

Additive process

This form is made possible by modern additive manufacturing

Phenom is not shaped this way for style alone. Its organic geometry is designed around the hand, and additive manufacturing makes it possible to create a much more complex ergonomic body than a conventional flat shell would allow.

That means the surface can stay sculpted, intentional, and anatomically driven instead of being simplified into something easier to manufacture but worse to use.

Control modules

Add the controls
you actually use

Instead of pushing cursor control and secondary inputs onto separate devices, Phenom brings them onto the keyboard itself. That means fewer reach-outs, less friction between actions, and a setup that reflects how your desk actually operates.

Trackball module

Use the 38 mm trackball for cursor control without reaching for a separate mouse. It is especially useful for code navigation, spreadsheets, browsing, and other precision desktop work.

Touchpad module

Add laptop-like gestures, scrolling, and pointer movement directly to the keyboard. A strong option if you want familiar navigation built into the right half.

Encoder + indicator

A tactile rotary control for volume, zoom, scrolling, timeline scrubbing, and other repeated actions that feel better on a dial than on keys.

Module system

Trackball, touchpad, and encoder modules can be mixed freely across the keyboard, and the same module standard works on both the left and right halves.

Config layer

Open source firmware and Vial keep customization powerful and approachable

Phenom uses open source firmware and works with Vial, so you can remap keys, build layers, assign macros, and reshape behavior without reflashing every time you want to improve something.

That matters because the board is not only for typing. Once modules, layers, and key logic start working together, the keyboard can take over navigation, editing, shortcuts, and repeated actions with much less switching between devices.

Home position

This allows you to type more efficiently and accurately, while minimizing hand fatigue.

For optimal use of the keyboard, fingers should be returned to the position indicated by the gray frame.

Keyboard layers

Hold the blue layer key to activate the symbols layer.

Hold the red layer key to activate the number pad and navigation layer.

Symbols layer

This layer helps you work with a wide range of symbols, such as punctuation marks, different types of parentheses, and mathematical operators.

Cursor control layer

This layer is automatically enabled when you use the touchpad or trackball.
Mouse 1, left click
Mouse 2, right click
Mouse 3, middle click
Scroll mode for page movement
Sniper mode for slower, more precise cursor control
Text mode for easier text interaction

Switch interface

Choose the typing feel that fits your hands, not a fixed factory setup

Hot-swap MX compatibility means the keyboard can work with the switches you already like or with a new setup you want to explore. That gives you more control over feel, sound, resistance, and the overall typing character of the board

Keycaps matter too. The experience is not only about the shape of the board, but also about the surface your fingers meet on every press.

Use your preferred MX-compatible switches without soldering

Try tactile, linear, or clicky options depending on your typing style

Adjust the board around both comfort and sound preference

Pair the keyboard with keycaps that match your daily feel and visual taste

Workflow map

Made for desks where the keyboard is central to the work

Keep symbols, navigation, layers, and cursor movement close to the typing position, which reduces interruption during long stretches of writing, coding, and editing.

Coding and writing

Workflow map

Made for desks where the keyboard is central to the work

Pair a trackball or touchpad with an encoder to move through timelines, canvases, and panels with fewer reach-outs to separate devices.

Design and editing

Workflow map

Made for desks where the keyboard is central to the work

Use layers for launchers, media control, macros, navigation, or workspace shortcuts while keeping the same compact footprint on the desk.
