The Design
About Keen کیبورد
کین یک کیبورد کامپیوتری است که برای کارهای اداری طراحی شده که نیازمند جابه‌جایی مکرر بین ورود اعداد و کنترل ماوس هستند. صفحه‌کلید عددی در سمت چپ قرار گرفته و بخش چپ از منطق ورودی دست چپ پیروی می‌کند. این چیدمان به دست راست اجازه می‌دهد روی ماوس باقی بماند و حرکت دست را کاهش می‌دهد. کلیدهای با سطح مقعر کروی با نوک انگشتان تناسب دارند، در حالی که کلیدهای تخت، کلیدهای منتخب را برای تایپ بدون نگاه کردن مشخص می‌کنند. چهار کلید عملکردی قابل شخصی‌سازی هستند. صدای ضربه کلیدها بین ۲۵ تا ۳۰ دسی‌بل باقی می‌ماند.

- Unique Properties
- The keyboard, by redefining traditional keyboard layouts, offers a more efficient solution for office users who require frequent switches between number input and mouse control. It relocates the numeric keypad to the left side, and fully optimizes the layout and functionality of the left hand side, facilitating easy switches among keys so that the right hand can focus on mouse control. Differentiated keycaps, a low noise design, and an antibacterial material further ensure comfort and health.

- Layout Optimization of Left Hand Side, Innovative Left Side Numeric Keypad, Customized Function Keys, Differentiated Keycaps , Low Noise
- Production Technology
- The spherical keycaps with a concave surface closely fit the fingertips to offer a more comfortable and natural typing experience. Certain keys boast a flat keycap to set them apart from those with a spherical one, assisting users in blind operation for improved efficiency. Moreover, the keycaps are specially added with antibacterial silver ions to effectively inhibit bacterial growth, hygienic and safe.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was how to better serve efficient office workers like programmers and financial personnel. This product, taking into account the operating habits and input logic of the left hand, fully optimizes the left hand side and cleverly relocates the numeric keypad to the left side so that the right hand can focus on mouse control, ensuring the coordinated work of two hands. The frequently used symbol keys are ingeniously rearranged, potentially doubling working efficiency.
- Research
- Traditional keyboards are not friendly for users who require frequent switches between the numeric keypad and the mouse with the right hand, often causing wrist fatigue and shoulder or neck stiffness. The left hand side with scattered function keys leads to low switching efficiency. This product, prioritizing ergonomics and efficiency, enables the left hand for number input and the right hand for mouse control. This minimizes unnecessary movements and ensures smooth operation for efficient work.
- Inspiration
- With a user centered approach, the keyboard relocates the numeric keypad to the left side, and adopts an innovative layout based on the operating habits and input logic of the left hand. This allows the right hand to focus on mouse control, and reduces hand movements and key switches, thus enhancing working efficiency. Considering user health, the product minimizes keystroke noise while ensuring typing comfort, eliminating noise interference to create a quiet, comfortable working environment.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Japan in May 2023. The product was launched in Japan in June 2025.
- Operation Flow
- The keyboard features four customized function keys for common shortcuts, contributing to convenient office work and meeting individual needs of users.
The product, with an inclination of minus 6 degrees, perfectly fits the natural curve of the wrists of the user during operation, enhancing comfort of use.
The optimized switch structure reduces keystroke noise to a range from 25 dB to 30 dB while ensuring typing comfort, greatly eliminating noise interference. - Team Members
