Wireless 2.7 GHz split mechanical keyboard with integrated tenting, walnut wrist rests, hot-swappable switches, and Vial programming for ergonomic builders and coders.

I finally replaced my aging Kinesis with the NocFree Lite and the difference is immediate. The 2.7 GHz link keeps both halves perfectly in sync even when I stretch them shoulder width apart, and the integrated tenting plus walnut rests melted away the forearm tightness I get on flat boards. Out of the box the factory lubed linear switches feel crisp, but the Kailh hot-swap sockets make it trivial to drop in tactiles when I want more feedback. Programming layers in Vial works exactly the way I like—no drivers, no vendor cloud, just tweak the layout in a browser and flash over USB-C. The board is surprisingly portable for a split: 11.84 x 4.42 inches, roughly 550 g, and that 3,600 mAh battery has lasted me six weeks of daily coding before I even thought about charging. I do wish NocFree added Bluetooth for travel and the $229 price tag stings when competitors undercut it, yet the combination of ergonomics, wireless reliability, and easy customization has earned the Lite a permanent spot on my desk.
