[IC] Cornix Split Low-Profile Board
« on: Thu, 22 May 2025, 08:08:49 »
Hi, Charels from MetaKeebs

I'm also an enthusiast of 40% and split keyboards, so thats why I founded Metakeebs to bring more of the designs I love to life.
Partnering with Jezail, we’re proud to introduce the Cornix Low-Profile Split Board—a keyboard that blends premium aluminum construction
and refined surface finishes with a surprisingly accessible price point.

We’ve also reimagined the classic Corne layout with thoughtful, functional tweaks that enhance both aesthetics and usability.
Personally, I adore this board, and I hope you will too!

I have used many 3D-printed split boards,
but few people or brands are willing to produce exquisite CNC aluminum cases for such a small market. This has greatly troubled me.
Under such demand, I reached a cooperation with Jezail and decided to jointly create this exquisite split board - Cornix.



The Cornix Split Board is Jezail’s 2025 entry into a new frontier of ergonomic keyboards. Inspired by the classic split board Corne,
we refined its layout with key modifications—including an added tenting mode—to accommodate a wider range of users.

We named it Cornix, embodying our commitment to delivering a truly elegant and comfortable typing experience.
While retaining the signature 3x6 column-staggered layout, our engineering team introduced three major upgrades:

- Expanded Thumb ClusterBuilding on the Corne’s original 3-key thumb arc, Cornix adds 3 extra programmable keys per side.
This enhances stability in tenting mode while preserving muscle memory for 40% keyboard enthusiasts and reducing the learning curve
for new ortholinear users.


-Patented Adjustable Tenting MechanismUser tests confirm that our exclusive tenting system (with adjustable angles) significantly
reduces wrist strain and RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) during prolonged typing compared to flat keyboards.


- Premium CNC Aluminum CaseWhile most split boards rely on DIY 3D-printed cases, Cornix features a multi-color anodized
CNC aluminum chassis Rebuilt with Kailh Choc V2 low-profile switches it offers Jezail’s proprietary LCK (transparent PC) or
LAK (PBT low-profile) keycaps—elevating both functionality and CMF (Color-Material-Finishing) aesthetics.
