LAYOUT AND ERGONOMICS

Launch’s thoughtful design keeps everything within reach. Reduce hand strain by moving hard-to-reach keys under your thumb with the split space bar and up to 4 layers.

Comfort at Home

Take advantage of configurability and operate entirely from home row. Magnetic 15-degree incline accommodates palm rests.

Split-Space Design

Customize and comfortably access essential keys under your thumb—without altering existing habits.

Closer Clicking

Minimal empty space on the sides keeps your mouse close and your enemies closer.

PERSONALIZE YOUR WORKFLOW

Place control back into your hands. Remap keys, swap keycaps, and configure multiple layers to your liking. Launch uses only three keycap sizes to vastly expand your configuration options.

Get The Configurator

Remap and Travel

Customize using the System76 Keyboard Configurator app and use your personal layout at any computer.

Simple Swapping

Pop and place keys where you want them. Launch includes a key-and-switch puller, Super key accents, and extra Esc or Ctrl for swapping.

Four Layers

Use layers for hardware controls, app shortcuts, non-QWERTY layouts, and more.

SUPERSPEED USB HUB

In addition to the central USB-C port for connecting to your system, Launch features two superspeed USB-C and USB-A ports. Transfer 1TB of video footage in 15 minutes, compared to 5 hours on other keyboards.*

*For maximum transfer speeds, Launch must be plugged into a USB 3.2 gen 2 port on your computer with the included USB 3.2 gen 2 cable. Estimate based on maximum potential data transfer speed.

HANDCRAFTED IN DENVER

Launch is milled from a solid block of aluminum and features corrosion-resistant doubleshot PBT keycaps and a custom PCB (printed circuit board). It’s designed, engineered, and manufactured in Denver by a team of highly opinionated keyboard experts who approved the final product unanimously.

Inert Design

Hefty milled aluminum stabilizes the keyboard on your desk as you type. Sits flat or at a 15-degree incline with the magnetic foot attached.

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.

100% OPEN SOURCE

Launch is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux. 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.

UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL ON POP!_OS

Launch works with Pop!_OS Keyboard Navigation to launch applications, organize tiled windows and workspaces, browse the web, and more, all without touching your mouse. The configurator application enables you to mold your layout around your workflow for maximum comfort and efficiency.
