Highly configurable
Manibus features an ergonomic split design and open source, customizable firmware to help you tailor your typing experience to the dot. No matter which thumb you use for the Space key or what diacritics you use, we’ve got you covered.
Designed to reduce strain
We designed the Manibus layout to reduce wrist movements to a minimum; keeping the two halves apart also gives your shoulders a break. We believe your keyboard should be tailored to your anatomy, not the other way around.
Ideal for touch typing
We separated the halves and straightened the columns—this staggered ortholinear layout helps you gain confidence in touch typing.
Fits into your workspace
Easily slide Manibus across your desk as you change your posture throughout the day or even set one half aside in those intense FPS moments.
Proudly grassroots
Manibus began as a DIY project, designed in our home office in Romania. Components are manufactured overseas, then packaged, tested,
and shipped straight from our home to yours.

Let's get technical
Split design with two active halves
Either half connects to your computer via USB-C and has thirty-one keys.
The two halves communicate through the i2c protocol using TRRS audio cables.
Unibody aluminium case for that premium feel
Weighing about 800 g (1.8 lbs) per side, the aluminium construction of the case helps it stay planted on your desk when you need it to, yet it slides effortlessly thanks to the PTFE pads on the bottom.
Supports reconfigurable layouts through QMK firmware
No default layout is suitable for everyone. You can modify each of the sixty-two keys to your own liking and then build and flash a new firmware version to each half. Instructions can be found on the official QMK Github repository.
Polycarbonate palm rests with built-in magnets
Each side uses six neodymium magnets that have plenty of force to keep the palm rests firmly attached, but just enough so you can remove them when necessary.

Blank Tehnologii is a hardware design studio in Timișoara, western Romania run by two friends with no formal training in product design. We like to surround ourselves with beautifully functional products, so why not make our own? This is our first public experiment—who knows what we’ll do next.
This group buy is the culmination of three years of independent research and development, and we couldn’t be prouder. As we further develop Manibus, we aim to create a local supply chain and remove virgin plastics from our production process.
Blank tehnologii srl
We are a tiny hardware design studio creating high-end mechanical keyboards. All Blank products are designed and packaged in our home office in Romania.
