Cornix Split Low Profile Keyboard

Ergonomic 40% Split Design with Adjustable Typing Angles

Experience the ultimate in ergonomic typing with the Cornix Split Low Profile Keyboard. Based on the beloved Corne layout, this premium split keyboard features CNC-machined aluminum construction, adjustable typing angles (10°, 18°, 25°), and gasket mount structure for exceptional comfort and sound. The ultra-thin low-profile design reduces finger travel and strain, while the split layout promotes natural hand positioning. Fully remappable via VIA/VIAL and available with wireless connectivity, the Cornix transforms the way you type.

Ergonomic Excellence: The split design allows your hands to rest at shoulder width for natural, comfortable positioning. Three adjustable typing angles let you find your perfect ergonomic setup, reducing wrist strain during extended typing sessions.

Transform Your Typing Posture

The Cornix split design isn't just different—it's better for your body. By separating the keyboard into two independent halves, you can position your hands naturally at shoulder width, eliminating the awkward inward angle that traditional keyboards force on your wrists.
