Not at all. NocFree features a layout similar to the Apple Magic Keyboard, making the transition seamless and intuitive.

Unlike other complex ergonomic keyboards that require relearning how to type, most NocFree users adapt fully typically within a week.

For NocFree &, UK-ISO is currently available. If you prefer a German (DE) or Nordic layout, you can use the UK-ISO keyboard with the corresponding keycap set.

Traditional keyboards often force hands into an unnatural angle (ulnar deviation). NocFree's split design allows you to separate the halves to shoulder width.

This setup is designed to promote a straighter wrist posture and an open chest. Many users find that this natural position helps reduce the strain and fatigue often associated with long typing sessions.

Absolutely. While NocFree is ready to use out of the box, it is designed for anyone who wants to boost productivity.

With the NocFree & and our NocFree Link software, you can fully customize your layout. Whether you are a designer setting up creative shortcuts, an editor managing timelines, or a power user maximizing efficiency, you have total control.

Low-profile switches allow the keyboard to sit closer to the desk surface. This design aims to create a more neutral wrist position by reducing the need for upward extension.

It offers the best of both worlds: the satisfying mechanical feel of a pro keyboard, combined with the slim ergonomic profile that reduces desk clutter.

No, the keyboard connects wirelessly using a 2.4GHz signal via a dongle. This method is the best choice for split wireless keyboards, offering a polling rate of 1000Hz and a strong connection within 30 meters. You won't need to worry about signal stability at all!

Yes, the keyboard is compatible with iPads and other tablets. You'll need a USB-A to USB-C adapter to connect the dongle to your device, enabling the keyboard to be recognized and connected seamlessly.

No, the keyboard does not support multiple channels. If more than one dongle is connected, all connected devices will receive the same input.

We recommend selecting sound-absorbing foam if you're looking for a quieter typing experience. It helps reduce keystroke noise and minimizes internal resonance, giving you a more refined and enjoyable typing feel.

We recommend linear switches for anyone new to the world of mechanical keyboards. They are versatile, provide a smooth typing experience, and are suitable for both everyday tasks and fast-paced gaming.

Yes, we include a set of blank keycaps for those who want to customize their key mappings. The set includes: 2x 1u, 2x 1.25u, and 1x 1.75u keycaps.

No, currently we only offer the US QWERTY layout.

We aim to ship your order within 48 hours of purchase. Delivery times vary depending on your region, typically ranging from 2–10 business days. For more details, please visit our shipping policy page.

Visit vial.rocks and open the Matrix Tester to check whether the keys respond on screen. If a key does not light up, remove the keycap and switch to inspect the switch pins for damage. If needed, replace the switch with one of the spare switches included in your package.

The left and right halves may have lost their connection. Make sure wireless mode is turned on for both halves, then press and hold [Ctrl] + [\] + [9] to reconnect them.

Please try the following steps:

• Fully charge the keyboard.
• Remove nearby metal interference.
• Switch USB hubs or ports, and plug the dongle directly into your computer.
• A USB 2.0 port may work better than a USB 3.0 port for wireless stability.
• Keep the keyboard and dongle close to each other.
• Use the original USB-C cable.
• If you are using multiple Bluetooth devices nearby, try turning them off.

NocFree & supports Bluetooth, 2.4G, and wired modes. No cable is required between the left and right keyboard halves.

• Bluetooth: Pair NocFree & with your computer via Bluetooth for a fully wireless setup.
• 2.4G: Plug in the included dongle for a stable wireless connection.
• Wired: Connect the left keyboard half to your computer with a USB-C cable. The right half connects wirelessly to the left.

If you use the NocFree & Numpad, it can also be used independently via Bluetooth or wired USB after updating to the latest firmware. Standalone 2.4G mode is not supported.

Yes, the white backlighting works in Bluetooth, 2.4G, and wired modes.

Yes, the keyboard supports connecting up to three devices in Bluetooth mode. You can easily switch between them using shortcut keys for a seamless experience.

You can check the battery level using Fn + I or through NocFree Link.

Note: The left half, right half, and numpad charge separately.

Yes, we provide dedicated software that allows users to customize macros, key mappings, and various advanced features.

We chose the standard layout to make the transition to split keyboards easier for most users. Our goal is to help more people enjoy ergonomic benefits without disrupting their everyday typing habits.

From an ergonomic perspective, while staggered column layouts reduce lateral finger movement, most discomfort comes from wrists and shoulders—which are already addressed by our split design.

NocFree & supports both Mac and Windows layouts. You can switch between them through NocFree Link.

An extra set of Windows keycaps is included in the box.

Yes. NocFree & is currently available in UK-ISO.

If you prefer a German (DE) or Nordic layout, you can purchase the UK-ISO keyboard together with the corresponding DE or Nordic keycap set.

We offer two switch options: Linear and Silent Linear.

• Silent Linear: Choose this if you prefer a quieter typing experience, especially for offices or shared spaces.
• Linear: Choose this if you prefer a more traditional mechanical keyboard sound and feel.

Both are linear switches—the main difference is the sound profile.

Yes! All switches come factory-lubed for a smooth typing experience.

NocFree & is compatible with TTC and Cherry low-profile switches.

JERRZI low-profile switches can also be used.

For keycaps, NocFree & supports low-profile keycaps with an MX-compatible stem.

Yes. In addition to Mac/Win modifiers and specialty keycaps for customization, DE and Nordic keycap sets are also available for users who want to use those layouts with the UK-ISO keyboard.

No, the accessories in this product series are designed to be compatible only with their respective products.

Definitely! You can remap every key on the numpad using our NocFree Link software. Set up custom shortcuts, macros, or tools tailored to your workflow.

Think of it as more than a numpad. It's a flexible shortcut pad that boosts your productivity.

Yes. The NocFree & Numpad is available separately and can be used on its own or paired with the NocFree & keyboard.
