Bluetooth connectivity and wireless USB dongles. A 80% tenkeyless layout with an advanced thumb cluster. An integrated rubber palm rest. A gorgeous OLED display. The largest batteries of any split keyboard. Riser 80 for high-angle tenting. Say hi to the UHK 80!

We plan to start shipping in late November, so don’t delay; pre-order yours today! It's first come, first served. Please note, however, that depending on the number of pre-orders, delivering all keyboards may take weeks or months. See the “delivery timeline” section at the end of this post.

We went from a 60% layout to an 80% tenkeyless layout, so Escape, F1 to F12, and a navigation cluster were added. Thanks to the new floating key design, the outer edges of the UHK 60 are not present, making the UHK 80 more space-efficient, so it’s only 25 mm or 1 inch wider than the UHK 60. The double-left and double-right keys above the left and right keys jump left and right by word by default. Consequently, the right Shift and Control became smaller by 1U, which is still comfortable to reach.

We increased the number of thumb keys to eight. All the top four thumb keys utilize 1.5U convex keycaps. As for the bottom thumb keys, instead of the two mouse-like microswitches beneath the UHK 60 case buttons, we now use four Kailh Choc v2 switches with ergonomically shaped keycaps, providing maximum thumb comfort.
