Still need to refer to the VIA app to tweak keys sometimes. I’m at the point now where using a regular keyboard is actually harder. Looks awesome. Replaced most of the keys with custom ones. Still use a num pad. Happy with my purchase even though it was 5x the price of even the most expensive gaming keyboard I’ve bought. Review: More than just a keyboard - As a keyboard it is a keyboard that you need to train yourself on a little. With QMK you can configure the keyboard to your hearts desire, so as perfect as you make it. Here is a look at the profiles (layers) I have set up; 1. qwerty a. (sub) F1 - F12 (reverts after single key press) with TRANS b. (sub) F13 - F24 (reverts after single key press) with TRANS 2. mouse and led customisation 3. joystick - keys set as 32 joystick buttons (mirrored on left and right sides). Keyboard registers as gaming device. Had to move buttons used as wasd to esdf for comfort and function. Setting gaming functionality for these "buttons" is done using a 3rd party application called Xpadder. This board replaces my normal qwerty keyboard as well as the Razer Tartarus (incl nostromo N52 and other half keyboards for gaming). I currently prefer the form of the Tartarus but the function of the Hot Dox, and once programmed you can remove all of the QMK software (no bloatware, no always online, etc unlike Synapse). With just a little time I believe I will like the form and the function more than any other device I have ever used. Install the QMK software locally for maximum programability as the web-based VIA and QMK dont go as deep. ## Features - True Ergonomic Design: Features a split ortholinear keyboard layout that promotes natural shoulder positioning - Independent Keyboard Halves: Offers the ability to use each half of the keyboard separately - Six programmable thumb keys on each side for versatile key assignments - Hot-swappable switches for easy customization - Layer Indicator Screen with QMK/VIA Firmware programmabilty for layout, macros, and backlighting.USB-C Connectivity with independently functioning halves.

Took a little bit to get used to the ortholinear layout, but once you get through the pain of a slower typing speed for a few weeks, you'll hate having to use someone else's keyboard that isn't split with thumb clusters. Software is great. Works on Linux. ## Frequently Bought Together - Apos ErgoDox 76 "Hot DOX V2 Split Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard — Ortholinear, Indicator Screen, QMK/VIA Firmware, RGB, USB-C, PBT Keycaps, Hotswap (Light - Kailh Rose Red Switches) - Womier Pudding Keycaps, PBT Shine Through Keycaps 165 Keys Set Custom Key caps Set OEM Profile, Universal Compatiability for 100%, 75%, 65%, 60% Keyboard-Black - Akko Rosewood Keyboard Switch for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 5-Pin 40gf Linear Pre-Lubed Switches (45pcs) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/647893918-apos-ergodox-76-hot-dox-v2-split-ergonomic-mechanical-keyboard](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/647893918-apos-ergodox-76-hot-dox-v2-split-ergonomic-mechanical-keyboard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
