The vast expanse of the ocean is the cradle from which all existence springs forth, an irreplaceable fountain of vitality. Among its inhabitants, the ORCA reigns supreme, a paragon of evolutionary prowess and refinement, embodying nature’s exquisite artistry at its zenith. ORCAS are elegant, agile, and highly intelligent, thriving even in the harshest environments like Antarctica’s icy waters. This resonates with our vision: despite living within constraints—be it extreme conditions or rigid keyboard layouts—we can still challenge ourselves to achieve greater freedom. The orca’s grace and adaptability perfectly embody our design philosophy, filling us with excitement.

Keykrush ORCA seamlessly blends streamlines with biomimetic design, offering an unparalleled typing experience.  Allow Keykrush ORCA  keyboard leads you to this transcendental realm, where every keystroke resonates with the symphony of natural harmony, elevating your productivity to unprecedented heights. Experience the sublime fusion of innovation and elegance, as nature’s timeless wisdom manifests in the design ethos of Keykrush ORCA.

By prioritizing comfort and health, Keykrush ORCA with its split design aims to provide a more ergonomic typing experience. We researched Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Tenosynovitis, these conditions arise from repetitive motions, localized pressure, and inflammation.

Split design allows hands placement for a natural, shoulder-width position. By featuring a split keyboard design, allowing your arms to naturally rest on the desktop (even on the chair armrests), aligning with your shoulder width, helps alleviate strain on the neck and shoulder muscles. 

The soft and elastic palm rest supporting the thenar part of your hand eliminates the necessity for additional wrist pads, safeguarding from compression of the carpal tunnel.

The 40% layout is not only for a minimalist and modern appearance, but also to reduce unnecessary hand movements. Minimize fingers lateral movement and the palm movement by reducing the total number of keys, could largely alliviate hand fatigue (using customizable multi-layers for typing). 

With this double-curved surface design, reduced fingers excessive stretching, and reduced fatigue as well. The motion of human fingers closing and opening resembles a rotation along a Fibonacci spiral trajectory, and the act of typing is similar to performing work through rotating along this Fibonacci spiral trajectory.

Fibonacci Spiral Trajectory and Finger Joints

Double-curved surfaces require less torque and are more friendly to people with chronic hand pain. Torque is the effect of a force that causes an object to rotate around a point. The torque depends not only on the force applied, but also on the distance from the point of force to the axis point of rotation. This distance in the typing scenario is the distance from finger joint to the keyboard surface. The smaller torque usually means that the fingers do not need to apply too much force to trigger the keys. 

The angle between your palms, helps alleviate strain on wrist and avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

When we make a fist and release it, fingers naturally trace curved paths. 
The ortholinear layout precisely mirrors this biomechanical pattern – to achieve dexterity and comfort. 

The staggered layout originates from the mechanical structure of typewriters. The first patent for a typewriter was obtained by Sholes in the United States in 1868. Early typewriters arranged keys in a staggered manner to avoid collisions between the mechanical levers. This layout has remained largely unchanged since then.

The MALT Keyboard, invented by Lillian Malt, shifted from the traditional staggered layout and increased thumb usage. In recent years, more and more enthusiasts and manufacturers of custom keyboards have introduced an increasing number of ortholinear keyboards, such as the Dactyl Manuform and Dygma Defy. These keyboards have received a lot of positive feedback from many people.

Ortholinear keyboards are typically more compact than traditional ones, allowing users to reach all necessary keys in a shorter time, thus improving input efficiency. For example, the number keys 1-9 on traditional keyboards also follow an ortholinear layout; once adapted, people can achieve very fast input speed with them. Another example is that typing machines used by stenographers mostly adopt an ortholinear layout, reducing lateral finger movement and making input more efficient. While the case of stenography machines might be extreme, it illustrates the core logic: Compact ortholinear keyboards reduce lateral finger movement, significantly enhancing input efficiency.

Ergonomic keyboards are demand-driven products. If your hands often feel pain or you even feel frustration during daily work, and don’t have the option to significantly reduce working hours to alleviate the pain, Keykrush ORCA is worth trying. Additionally, in some professional scenarios (such as coding, literary creation, etc.), ortholinear keyboards still hold unique advantages. People with strong adaptability may only need one to two days to get used to it, while those with weaker adaptability might require four to five days.
