Razer unveils its first split keyboard – the Pro Type Ergo

Razer is stepping away from its gamer aesthetic to challenge the productivity market. The newly unveiled Razer Pro Type Ergo is a wireless split-ergonomic keyboard designed for professionals. 

The Pro Type Ergo uses a split layout that positions the keys in a tented, angled configuration, keeping the user's hands and shoulders in a more natural alignment. To ensure a smooth transition for users coming from traditional keyboards, Razer has implemented dual “B” keys, dual space keys, and a centre backspace. This “Alice-style” approach minimises finger crossover.

Razer isn't just relying on the split shape to do the heavy lifting. The keyboard features a 10° base slope and offers five adjustable typing angles, including both front and rear tilts at 4° or 7°. This level of adjustability allows for fine-tuning, whether the user is at a standard desk or a standing workstation.

Under the hood, the Pro Type Ergo uses low-profile, fingertip-shaped keycaps. These keys feature subtle spherical indents to guide the fingers into a centred position. To ensure its office-friendly, Razer has packed the chassis with sound-dampening layers and tuned stabilisers to provide a quiet, tactile experience that won't disrupt open workspaces or video calls.

For connectivity, the keyboard offers 5-way multi-device support via HyperSpeed Wireless (2.4GHz), 3x Bluetooth profiles, and a USB-C port for wired connection.
