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.
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.
Remap and Travel
Seamlessly adjust the layout with the Keyboard Configurator application. Because changes are saved to the keyboard’s firmware, you can use your custom layout at any workstation.
Simple Swapping
Included key puller makes it easy to pop and place keys where you want them. Extra keycaps are provided in different sizes, contours, and red and blue accent colors.
Multilayer Functionality
Use four layers for personalized application shortcuts, adjusting hardware functions, 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.*
*Feature available for Launch Keyboard and Launch Heavy models only. For maximum transfer speeds, Launch must be plugged into a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on your computer with the included USB 3.1 cable. Estimate based on maximum potential data transfer speed.
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.)

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 macOS, Windows, and Linux. 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.
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.
