Celebrating 40,000 Moonlanders
Two Halves
Place each half exactly where you need it. Typing at shoulder width keeps your chest open, which leads to a more relaxed posture.
No more hunching over the keyboard.

Columnar
Because when you extend a finger, it doesn‘t go sideways.
Columnar keyboards like the ErgoDox EZ and the Moonlander make it easier to reach above and below the home row. Stretch less, type more.

Active left side
The Moonlander has its USB Type-C connector on the left side, so you can use that side on its own.
When it‘s time to get your game on, unplug the right side and give your mouse some room to roam. The left side acts as a powerful macro pad.
The Platform
An optional tenting accessory like no other: All-metal, slides, locks, and folds in seconds.
The Platform’s sophisticated latching system allows you to quickly disengage it and stow it away, flat, along with the Moonlander in the Moonlander’s carrying case.
More about The Platform
Blank or printed
The Moonlander comes with high-quality keycaps made of doubleshot PBT plastic. You can get them either with letters ("printed"), or just lines for the light to shine through ("blank").
The printed keycaps are all the same profile so you can use them as-is or move them around for different non-QWERTY layouts.
The blank keycaps are sculpted, so each row has a different profile for added typing comfort.
When in doubt, go with the printed caps; they're easier to start with.
Mechanical
In a mechanical keyboard, each keypress is crisp and distinct. Different keyswitches offer a dramatically different typing feel.
When building out your new Moonlander, choose between ten different types of switches. If you're not sure which is right for you, we'll help you choose.

Hot-swappable
Change any keyswitch on your Moonlander at any time, without soldering and without voiding your warranty. Every unit ships with a free tool that makes this easy.
Your keyboard, your switches, your way.

Fully backlit forPhotoshopWriting
The Moonlander is fully backlit, with programmable RGB LEDs under each key.
Use them to light up the active keys on your current layer, remember shortcuts, and more.
Switch to Photoshop, and the "Photoshop" layer on your ZSA keyboard automatically activates. Click into Fortnite, and now your "Game" layer is suddenly active.

Lots of LED animations
While the Moonlander excels at the ergonomics of productivity, it also knows how to party. For those of you who enjoy watching LEDs dance, we made a little video showcasing some of the Mooonlander’s moves.
Blinks and beeps

The Moonlander comes with three status LEDs on each side and a buzzer for audio output. Get visual and audible feedback as you work, or not (you choose).

Live Training
Practice your custom layout until it becomes second nature. Includes modes to focus on standard text, numbers and symbols, programming syntax, and unlabeled keys within layers.
See howSee your layout in real time
Our native app, Keymapp, displays your entire layout right in front of you. It updates as you use your board, so you'll never get lost while navigating layers. Pin Keymapp to the corner of your screen and you'll always know what each key does at a glance, even while working in other windows.
Keymapp's "heatmap" feature gives you personalized, always-local data about which keys you use most to help optimize your layout for your own particular workload.
Most important, Keymapp is entirely optional. Take your keyboard from one computer to another and all your customizations come with you — not locked in an app sitting in your system tray.

USB Type-C
The Moonlander comes with a detachable USB Type-C cable as well as a C-to-A dongle in the box.

The Moonlander‘s keycaps float on top of the board, for an exposed, clean look. It‘s one of the thinnest mechanical keyboards out there.
Folds for transport
When it‘s time to go, just fold the Wing under the Moonlander. It‘ll magnetically click into its stowed position.
Carrying case included
Every Moonlander comes with a Neoprene carrying case designed for safe transport in the smallest form factor possible.
Fold the case up, or put it flat into your backpack.

Modules that work
together
The thumb module tilts up and down. Use it to find the perfect typing angle, and the wrist support module will automatically follow.
That’s a very smooth touchdown.
Thumb module
For small hands, tilt the thumb module up. For bigger hands, tilt it down.
A custom fit for your hand size.
The Launch and Any keys
You‘ll never have to hunt for these. Use them for things you do several times a day and that usually take multiple keypresses.
Switch your input locale or launch your password manager with a single tap of your index finger.
The piano keys
We designed these three easy-to-reach keys exclusively for the Moonlander, with a vertical profile and a dedicated backlight slot on each key.
Wrist support module
Also known as the Wing, this is a comfy landing spot for your palm.
It automatically angles when you tent and tilt the keyboard, so it‘ll always be where you expect it.
Prefer typing without wrist support? The module is easy to detach, no tools needed.

A fully-customizable typing experience
Make your keyboard work just like you want it
You don't have to code to customize the Moonlander. Oryx is a free, simple, and powerful keyboard layout editor. Point-and-click your way to the ultimate in comfort and productivity.
Remap any key
Don't like where something is? Move it. All keys can be remapped and reassigned, and most people iterate over their layouts until they're just right.
Tap for A, hold for Ctrl
One key can do two, three, or even four things. Tap-dance and dual-function keys make it easy to hold a key for Ctrl (for example) and tap it to get the letter “A”. All the power you need, within easy reach.
One-touch shortcuts
Want to set up a single key to send Cmd+S? Easy peasy.
Works with Mac, Linux, and Windows
All the “smarts” live on the board. No software or drivers required.
Unlock the power of system-wide hotkeys
Hyper is Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win/Cmd, while Meh is Ctrl+Shift+Alt. No sane application on your machine uses these, which means you get free system-wide shortcuts.
Use multiple layers
With up to 32 layers, you can make a layer dedicated to your favorite game or app and get single-key access to helpful combos and shortcuts.
Open-source firmware
The powerful firmware that runs on the Moonlander is called QMK, and it’s open-source, available on GitHub.
While you can use our configurator to quickly put together a layout, having complete access to the firmware source code means you can dig as deep as you’d like.
A thriving community
With thousands of people using our keyboards for all sorts of interesting things, there is never a lack of layouts to learn from. Some people even create layout tours to explain things better.
There’s more: A galaxy of firmware features for you to explore and experiment with.
