A few observations, from a 60% loving but non-split keyboard user.

• Where's the pointing device in the first photo? Are you meant to lift your coffee cup with one hand while you lunge for the laptop with the other?
• The way right Shift has swapped places with the /? key would drive me very nutty very quickly!
• The 6 key being on the wrong side of the split from its YHN companions would also drive me nutty, but more slowly.
• Where are the wires? Can you use this board completely wireless (no join between the halves) as your pictures show?

And regarding programmability, you state:

No software downloads are required. Customize with ease via the user-friendly web interface

Does that mean the programming software is an online tool?

1.This keyboard is standalone, without a built-in mouse or touchpad. You might spot a black mouse in the first picture – that's where I usually place it for easy access during my daily use.

2.Great observation! The keyboard follows the classic ANSI layout, with the unique "?/" key. While it may feel a bit different initially, users typically adapt within a day, finding it comfortable. Many even prefer the new wrist-friendly position.

3.The numeric keypad layout is user-friendly compared to "?/". Unlike many split keyboards with steep learning curves, ours closely resembles a traditional layout.

4.Completely wireless, as seen in the pictures, it eliminates the need for a connecting wire between halves. After thorough research, we achieved excellent low-latency performance, providing you the freedom to type in your preferred position!

Yes. With the NocFree Lite, we offer full programmability through VIA, allowing you to customize your keyboard directly through VIA’s website.

Yes, definitely mention the VIA support. People know what that is here and many seek it out. (Or VIAL.)

Full wireless operation is good, too. Doubt you'd ever convince me of the /? position though.
