“This has become my daily driver. Didn’t realize how much I wanted the arrow keys and the split is definitely growing on me. I move the keyboard around my studio when I’m recording music and it’s helpful to have that trackpad handy. Great for lap typing too.

I was worried that I was going to try and keep my logitech K830 alive the rest of my life or be doomed to a subpar HTPC controller. I bought this the second I saw it, and it is a massive upgrade on all fronts. Split keyboards are not something I have any experience with, so definitely a learning curve but the quality of mechanical switches is worth it over the membranes.

“I use the FORM with my gaming PC, my development Mac, my headless NAS and even my streaming devices. It comes with me to every room of the house and even the office. It’s the keyboard and touchpad that I know will work wherever and whenever I need it.”

– Matthias –

“The touchpad works perfectly on the Steamdeck and with Linux after a firmware update, it has a hardware switch to connect to one of two different computers over BT, and can work on a third computer with USB, the touchpad is usable by either hand and the keyboard is very portable – feels fine in the lap, on a tray, or in a bag. It *is* expensive at $200, but has the build quality to justify that price.

FAQs

Can I swap the keycaps?

Yes…but! The FORM uses standard Cherry MX style stems. It is compatible with any low-profile style keycap. Many traditional profile keycap sets will also work, but some styles that have a taller “skirt” cause the keycap to bottom out on the case BEFORE the switch registers. So do your research and make sure your keycap set is returnable.

How does it work with a Mac?

The FORM was optimized for use with Windows but it works pretty great with macOS, iPhone, and iPad too.

  • Gestures: Unfortunately Apple does not make their gestures available to 3rd party touchpads.
  • Mac Layout: Visit this page to download the Mac Firmware file and for instructions for flashing the firmware on to your keyboard. Then install the included 6 Mac keycaps

Mac Firmware

Does the touchpad physically click?

No, the FORM touchpad is tap-to-click only. There is no physical click or simulated haptic feedback.

Is the Form programmable?

No, but maybe in the future…
