Key Features
1️⃣ Left Hand Number Pad Concept: The EXT65 continues the legacy of the left hand number pad, originally introduced with the Aegis. We've listened to your feedback and carefully crafted a layout that feels familiar, offering the benefits of a left hand number pad without compromising the comfort of the traditional 1800 layout.
2️⃣ Streamlined and Portable Design: Weighing in at less than 2kg, the EXT65 is the epitome of portability. Carry your keyboard with confidence using the included portable sleeve. Despite its lightweight design, the EXT65 retains enough weight to provide a sturdy and reliable typing experience.
3️⃣ Reversible Base for Ergonomic Freedom: Elevate your typing comfort with the reversible base that offers both positive and negative angled typing experiences. The +6° positive angle provides a familiar and comfortable feel, while the -6° negative angle supports hover typing, reducing strain and promoting a more ergonomic typing form.
4️⃣ Positive Angle (+6°): A traditional and comfortable angle for most typists, the +6° positive angle is designed to feel familiar. Ideal for those accustomed to cherry profile keycaps, this angle ensures a soft and positive typing experience that complements the case angle.
5️⃣ Negative Angle (-6°): Embrace courage and innovation with the -6° negative angle, perfect for hover typing. This angle helps prevent strain on the median nerve, making it an ideal choice for those who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome or prefer non-uniformed SA profile keycaps.
