📄 Product Description
Neo Studio · Alice · Barebone kit
Neo Ergo – an aluminium Alice with tenting
Most Alice keyboards take care of your wrist angle. The Neo Ergo goes one step further: its middle is raised so your forearms don't have to twist either.
Neo Studio built several prototypes and tried a lot of open-source ergo projects along the way. The result is an Alice layout with tenting that you can type on without a long adjustment period – unlike a split keyboard.

01 · Ergonomics
Alice layout with a raised middle
On an Alice layout the two halves of the keys are slightly rotated towards each other, which keeps your wrists straighter than on a regular keyboard. What it doesn't fix: your forearms still lie flat and twisted on the desk.
That's why the Neo Ergo is raised by 5° in the middle. Your hands tilt slightly outwards – ideally only the outer edges of your hands and your little fingers touch the desk. Add an 8° typing angle on top. The front is 14 mm high at the sides and 27 mm in the middle.
A split keyboard, on the other hand, takes a lot of getting used to. The Neo Ergo is the middle ground: one board, a familiar layout.
02 · Layout
Nearly symmetrical, configurable in VIA
The Neo Ergo comes in ANSI layout. The alpha areas are almost mirror images of each other, and F and J sit symmetrically – so there's little height difference between your left and right hand. On the left there's an extra column with Delete, PgUp, PgDn and Fn.
The PCB supports several options: 2.25u and 2.75u spacebars, split backspace, split shift and arrow keys. You set what each key does in VIA.
03 · Configurations
Seven colours, tri-mode or wired
Case, kernel, badge and weight are matched per colour. You pick the PCB with it: the tri-mode case comes with the batteries already built in, the wired case has fillers in their place – which is why the PCB is part of the variant.

04 · Case
Top, kernel, bottom
The case follows the simple retro style of the Neo family. The sides slope inwards, so the board is easy to pick up. A bevel above the USB port keeps the raised middle from looking bulky.
Between top and bottom sits the kernel: it holds the batteries, the daughterboard and the magnetic connectors and adds a second colour to the case. At the back is the external weight with the redesigned orbit logo, next to it the badge.
05 · Lighting
RGB strips between the keys
RGB light strips run between the key clusters, and you can match their colour to your keycaps. There's no per-key RGB.
The diffusers for it are mounted on the plate. Without a plate the LEDs would shine straight into your eyes – so we always sell the Neo Ergo with a plate.
06 · Mount
Gaskets in the middle and at the corners
A standard gasket mount didn't feel the same everywhere on a tented board. So Neo Studio moved the gaskets to the middle and the corners – feel and sound stay even across the whole keyboard.
The top case is held by ball catches instead of screws, and the daughterboard connects magnetically – no cable in the way when you open it. Take the top case off before pulling keycaps or switches, otherwise the puller can scratch the case.
07 · PCB and plate
Tri-mode or wired, PP or aluminium
Tri-mode hot-swap
USB-C, 2.4 GHz via the included dongle and Bluetooth. Polling rate 1000 Hz wired and on 2.4 GHz, 125 Hz on Bluetooth. Two 2200 mAh batteries are built into the kernel.
Wired hot-swap
USB-C only, 1000 Hz – no batteries, no wireless. For anyone who types at the desk anyway.
Both PCBs are 1.6 mm without flex cuts, VIA compatible and hot-swap – switches go in without soldering. What that gives you is explained in our guide Hot-swap keyboards.
PP plate
Soft and flexible, a deeper, rounder sound.
Aluminium plate
Stiff and direct, a firm bottom-out and a brighter sound.
You add the plate when you order – PP or aluminium. More plates are available as extras in the Neo Ergo spare parts.
08 · Dimensions and wrist rest
With a matching cherry wood rest
The wrist rest follows the outline and tenting of the Neo Ergo and lowers the front height a little further. It's hand-polished and therefore not perfectly flat – it sits best on a desk mat. Grain and knots are normal for wood.
Dimensions

Weight

09 · Who is it for?
Who is the Neo Ergo for?
For heavy typists
You type for hours every day and want to take strain off your wrists and forearms without relearning on a split keyboard.
For Alice fans
You like the Alice layout and want an aluminium board with tenting, a wireless option and a matching wrist rest.
More ergonomic boards are in Alice & ergo keyboards. The Neo Ergo is a barebone kit: you'll need switches and keycaps, NeoStab stabilisers are included.

Excellent!
The Keyboard came exactly when it was supposed to. Unfortunately one row and one column did not work on one side. I contacted support and the next day replacement parts were on the way! All issues were resolved and my wife is happy with her new keyboard :)
