Story

 

Not sure if a split keyboard is for you? Let’s find out with a quick test:

  1. Put your hands together. Notice any tension in your arms, shoulders, chest, or neck.
  2. Now, spread your hands apart, slightly wider than your shoulders.
  3. Take a deep breath, hold it for one, two, three seconds, and then exhale.

Can you feel the difference? Your body is craving a split keyboard.

 

 
 

 

Traditional keyboards force unnatural positions on us for a long time. NocFree sets you free with its unmatched adjustability, accommodating different body types and habits, ensuring everyone finds their most comfortable position.

The split and wireless design also gives you greater flexibility in desktop management for maximum comfort, productivity and aesthetics. In wireless mode, there are no wires connecting the two halves. Make the center of your desk the heart of your workspace.

This change in posture and desk setup is not only external, but will completely transform your daily 6 to 10 hours at the computer desk. Many people invest in expensive ergonomic chairs and standing desks, but overlook the keyboard, preventing their ergonomic devices from being truly effective.

The NocFree Lite features a classic staggered keyboard layout, reducing the learning curve and making your workflow more efficient.

*Sorry, but this time only ANSI layout version is provided, not ISO and JIS layout. If you need other layouts, welcome to follow our instagram or join discord community, we will synchronize the progress of other layouts in time.

The NocFree Lite is designed to allow the left and right sides to be fully merged. You can start with the keyboard fully merged and gradually separate it. Based on tests conducted with our family and friends, most individuals fully adapt after just one day.

With its sleek 60% layout featuring 65 keys, NocFree Lite defines minimalism and productivity.

The combined key design gives you all the functionality you need with just 65 keys. For example, our keyboard provides function keys through Fn key combinations.

Who says ergonomic products can’t be fun? NocFree Lite offers a dazzling array of 31 lighting effects for you. Customize color, brightness, and transition speed.

*RGB is available in wired mode only.

Carved from a single piece of walnut, they remain cozy in winter, non-sticky in summer, and easy to clean. The firm, arch-designed surface offers wrist support and alleviates palm pressure.

The classic layout allows you to easily customize your NocFree Lite with any keycap you like.

Explore our Add-Ons section to discover four additional keycap options that cater to your unique style and preferences.

My journey with split keyboards began when I was battling wrist pain and lower back discomfort. The search for an attractive and accessible split keyboard led nowhere and sparked the idea for this project. 

Today, most people continue to use traditional keyboards, unaware of the health risks they pose. Despite innovations in ergonomic design, they have remained out of reach for many due to their high cost and steep learning curve.

Our goal is ambitious but clear: to move split keyboards from a niche to a mainstream choice. To achieve this, we need to invest in creating molds and enhancing production efficiency, steps essential for ensuring affordability and ongoing product refinement. This approach obviously requires a lot of investment.

And this is where your support becomes critical. By backing us, you’re not only providing the necessary seed capital, you’re also helping to build a community of early adopters and believers.

Join us in making healthier working practices not just an aspiration, but a reality. Together, we can usher in an era where ergonomic wellness is a standard, not a luxury.

Thanks,

Solar

Risks and challenges

During the first mass production of hardware, there are often a variety of problems. However, we have done, are doing, and will do our best to ensure on-time delivery. We will not betray your precious trust.
1. Proven prototypes: We have successfully produced 20 prototypes and finished the DFM (Design for Manufacturing) with our suppliers. We have also sent several samples to our Youtuber partners around the world, and received their review and appreciation. This means that we don’t need to make any major adjustments to the product design, either for production or functionality.
2. Reliable suppliers: 4 members of the team are based in China and will be involved in factory supervision. One member, with 10 years of experience in keyboard manufacturing, is experienced in working with keyboard factories. We have established relationship with 5 suppliers that meet the demand, so even if there are problems with the factories we work with, production can still continue.
3. Transparent communication: We will update our progress through Kickstarter announcements, emails, and he community, and communicate honestly with all backers and those who care, no matter what kind of issues arise.
4. Customer support: We provide customer service to ensure a timely response to your concerns and questions, whether it’s about product progress, shipping, or after-sales support.
5. After-sales support: We provide 1 year free warranty after shipment.
We will make every effort to prove that your support is worthwhile, for your own health, and for the health of more people. Thank you all very much!
