About the Kyria

All about the Kyria keyboard.

The Kyria is a 40% form factor split keyboard, packed with features and options to make it your own. It was the first keyboard Thomas Baart designed back in 2019, before starting splitkb.com. Prior to its official release it saw a handful of iterations over the course of the year. Since then, it has seen multiple revisions, where revision 3 introduced the Kyria to the same standards set for the Aurora Series, and revision 4 was the first entry in the new Halcyon Series.

You can read more about the history of the Kyria on Thomas' blog post, titled splitkb.com and the Kyria.

On this page, you'll find all information about the Kyria, including the changelog and its schematics. Please scroll further down the page for the full table of contents. I hope you'll enjoy your Kyria!
