The Launch keyboard layout mainly differs from other keyboards in the arrangement of the bottom row keys, from left to right: Ctrl, Alt, Fn, Super, the split spacebar, Ctrl, Alt, Fn.

Layout and Ergonomics

A wide swath of customization options makes Launch flexible to your needs. The keyboard’s thoughtful design keeps everything within reach, vastly reducing awkward hand contortions.

Comfort at Home

Maximum configurability ensures your hands can operate entirely from home row while your fingers rest on soft, textured keys.

Split Space Bar

Bring important keys like Bksp, Shift, or Fn to your Space Bar for quick and comfortable thumb access—without altering your existing habits.

Closer Clicking

With a tenkeyless (TKL) layout, your mouse is only a short hand movement away. You know… just in case you miss each other.

Handcrafted in Denver

Launch features a chassis milled out of a solid block of aluminum, as well as a custom PCB (printed circuit board). It’s designed, engineered, and manufactured in Denver by a team of very particular keyboard nerds. After testing various configurations, they enjoyed and approved the final product unanimously.

Pleasing Switches

Choose your sound to best fit your work environment. Royal switches are bold and tactile, while Jade switches produce an addictive click. For a stealthier, more call-friendly experience, enjoy the light skittering of Silent Brown switches or the delicate pitter-patter of Silent Pink switches.

Royal, Jade, and Silent Brown tactile switches feature a light bump that feels satisfying to the finger when the key is pressed. Silent Pinks, on the other hand, are linear; they lack that bump, meaning the press is smoother as your finger won't feel resistance from the key. (35g of force compared to 50g for Silent Browns, 70g for Jades, and 75g for Royals.)

Soothing LEDs

Cycle through various light patterns and a large RGB color spectrum. Stare too long, however, and you’ll succumb to the hypnotic trance of the gentle glow.

Inert Design

Solid milled aluminum and rubber feet stabilize the chassis and prevent it from moving around on your desk. Type flat or add the magnetic foot for a 15-degree incline.

100% Open Source

Launch is our first product compatible with Linux, Windows, and macOS. In keeping with our ethos, design files are readily available for anyone to view, learn from, and modify. The accompanying software configurator has also been made public.

Launch’s firmware is based on open source QMK firmware. Updates can only be initiated by the user, and are available through Pop!_OS firmware settings and LVFS. When your firmware is updated, your keyboard LEDs will flash U-N-L-O-C-K-E-D, notifying you that the firmware is being changed.
