From Saurav, founder — I've hand-built more than 200 split keyboards in Bengaluru since Parix started. The 52 is the board I designed to be the one I use every day. Every unit is assembled and tested here before it ships, and if anything goes wrong in the first 12 months, we fix it.

01 / layout

Fifty-two keys. Nothing out of reach.

A laptop keyboard is one flat slab with the rows shifted sideways, a shape left over from typewriters. The Parix 52 is two halves, each with six columns, four rows and two thumb keys, staggered to the length of your own fingers. Numbers, symbols and arrows all sit under your hands. Your pinkies stretch less and your wrists stay straight.

Kailh Choc v2 Red linear switches underneath, with a clear top so the lights come through: 43 gf, short travel, smooth and quiet. Hot-swap, so any Choc v2 switch can go in later.

02 / trackpad

Point, scroll, click. Without leaving home row.

A 40 mm Cirque trackpad on the inner edge of the right half, a thumb's reach from the keys. Move the pointer, scroll, click, then carry on typing. Your hand stays on the board.

No mouse in the bag. No reach to the right every time you need a cursor.

Parix 52, both halves apart on a desk pad, low angle, no cable between them, black keycaps lit First unit, no cable between the halves
03 / wireless and tenting

Each half goes where your hand is.

No cable between the halves, none needed to the computer. Bluetooth to your machines, switch between them from the board, USB-C to charge. Set the halves a shoulder's width apart and your shoulders open up; your wrists stop bending inward the way they do on a single slab.

The 10° tenting bar holds on with magnets: on for the desk, off for the bag. An RGB LED under every key, a small OLED on the left half for layer and charge, and a 1200 mAh cell in each half, so it runs for weeks with the lights off.

Questions

When does it ship, and can I cancel?

This pre-order is for 20 boards. Shipping starts 1 December 2026 from Bengaluru, in order of pre-order; we email you a date when your board is on the bench. Cancel any time before dispatch for a full refund: email us or DM @parix_in with your order number.

I've never used a split keyboard. Will I manage?

Yes, with a little patience. The stagger and thumb keys feel odd for a few days, then obvious; most people are back to their usual speed within two weeks. You get a starter layout and a short guide, and you can ask us anything.

How do I change the layout, and what are the lights and screen for?

The board runs RMK, open-source firmware, configured in Vial: plug in over USB-C, click a key, choose what it does, and it changes on the board as you watch. Nothing to flash. Layers put numbers, symbols and arrows under your fingers; you start from our layout and we help with the first changes. Keymap and firmware guide; the firmware and the default layout (seven layers with home-row mods, number row on top) are public at github.com/dieselsaurav/parix52.

The RGB under each key shines through the legends and can be dimmed or switched off from the board. With every LED on, expect about a day between charges; dimmed or off, weeks. The OLED on the left half shows your active layer and charge.

Can I change the switches later?

Yes. The first batch ships with Kailh Choc v2 Red linear switches, and every socket is hot-swap for any Kailh Choc v2. Pull one out, push another in, no soldering. The caps are MX-stem too, so other MX-stem sets fit.

Does it work with Mac, Windows and Linux?

Yes. To the computer it is a standard Bluetooth keyboard, or a USB keyboard when plugged in. The layout lives on the board, so it is identical on every machine you pair, and you switch between them from the keys.

What does the trackpad do?

A 40 mm Cirque pad on the right half, a thumb's reach from the keys, with a concave overlay so your thumb finds the centre. Move the pointer, scroll and click without lifting your hand. For drawing or gaming, keep a mouse.

What if something goes wrong? What's the warranty?

Twelve months from dispatch, the same warranty as every Parix board, covering defects in the board, controller, display, trackpad, sockets and case under normal use. Message us; we designed and built it in our own workshop in Bengaluru, so we can fix it. The controller, display and every switch are socketed, so most fixes are a part, not a board, and we cover return shipping within India. Changing switches, keycaps or the keymap does not affect the warranty. Full terms.

Is there a cable in the box?

No. Any USB-C cable charges each half and connects the board to Vial for remapping; you almost certainly own one already. Day to day it runs over Bluetooth and needs no cable at all.
