As Natural as Possible

To balance easy adoption with ergonomic design, the Neo Ergo is designed with a tilted Alice layout.

A tent is added in the middle of Neo Ergo to allow hands to rotate slightly outwards, reducing wrist rotation and reliving tension in the forearm muscles.

Case Design

The appearance of Neo Ergo continues the Neo family's simple and retro design style. With added RGB light strips in the spaces between the keys for embellishment. The color of the light strip can be adjusted according to personal preference, making it easy to match with different themed keycaps.

Side Profile

Like the Neo65 and Neo70, Ergo's side profile is simple and considerate, featuring an inward-sloping edge for easier pick-up. The design around the USB port minimizes the bulky look created by the tenting case. The bevel above the USB port enhances the dynamism of the side profile, which also forms a natural transition from the top to side.

Kernel

The kernel is added between the top and bottom case. It does not only host the batteries, daughterboard, and magnetic connectors, but also provides an additional element for customization.

Weight and Badge

The orbit logo on the weight has been redesigned. Customers have the option to choose different colors for the weight and badge to add a personal touch.

Wrist Rest

The Ergo wrist rest is the cherry on top. It's specially designed to match the outline and the tenting angle of the Neo Ergo, further lowering the front height to ensure your hands type in the most comfortable position. Choose between the acrylic or cherry wood versions. The acrylic version undergoes multiple rounds of special treatments to enhance hardness and durability. Each wrist rest is hand-polished for an ultra-smooth texture.

Innovative Gasket Mount

During the prototyping phase, it was discovered that the standard gasket mount couldn’t deliver consistent typing feedback or optimal acoustic performance in a tenting keyboard. As a result, the gasket is repositioned to the middle and corners for the Ergo. This adjustment offers a more evenly distributed typing and acoustic experience across the entire keyboard.

Ball-Catch Structure + Magnetic Connectors

The highly praised ball-catch structure and magnetic connectors from the Neo80 have been retained. Now, you can enjoy the fun of custom keyboards anytime and anywhere, without worrying about cables and screws. Kindly note that it’s advised to remove the top case when you remove keycaps or switches in case the pullers scratch the case.

Improved Layout

Symmetry is crucial to the aesthetics of the Alice-style keyboard, so it's one of the main considerations when designing the layout for Neo Ergo. Alpha areas are made to be nearly symmetric to accommodate different typing habits while incorporating multiple options such as 2.25+2.75 spacebars, split backspaces, split shift and arrow keys, all of which are configurable in VIA. Furthermore, F and J keys are positioned symmetrically to minimize the height difference between the left and right hands while typing.
