The Japanese are redefining the keyboard.

The trend of using split ergonomic keyboards is becoming increasingly popular in the tech and content creation world. Naya Create's appearance at CES attracted significant attention thanks to its unique split design. According to the manufacturer, Naya, this device will help users change their usual typing habits and free their bodies from cramped or tiring sitting postures. Photo: Taro Kanamoto/Gizmodo.

A unique feature of the Naya Create's hardware structure lies in its two hinge joints, allowing users to adjust the keyboard's tilt at 30-degree and 60-degree angles. This ergonomic design, closely following the natural curve of the hand, minimizes pressure on the wrist, providing a comfortable and natural typing experience even during extended periods of work.

Unlike conventional split-keyboard designs, Naya Create features a dedicated area for the thumb to install control modules. Users can optionally attach a physical dial for scrolling pages or quickly performing tasks without having to move their entire hand away from the main keyboard area while working.

The manufacturer offers various modules including a trackball, touchpad, and 3D navigation buttons. For users specializing in graphics or video editing, integrating these control tools directly into the keyboard reduces the need for a separate mouse, significantly minimizing the workspace on the desk.

Many current ergonomic keyboards drastically reduce the number of keys, forcing users to relearn how to press complex key combinations. Naya Create takes a safer approach by retaining a relatively complete and familiar key layout, making it easier for those transitioning from standard keyboards to get used to it without needing much time to adapt.

The product supports hot-swap switches and features an RGB backlight system. Users can configure and reassign functions to each key via the included software; however, the control software in early versions still needs time to optimize stability. Image: HowtoGeek.

Because it needs to maintain a wireless connection and operate both the control modules and LEDs, the device's battery life drains quite quickly and requires frequent charging. Using an additional magnetic USB-C charging connector is a practical solution, allowing for quick charging without affecting the device's design. Photo: Taro Kanamoto/Gizmodo.
