Trackball module
Use the 38 mm trackball for cursor control without reaching for a separate mouse. It is especially useful for code navigation, spreadsheets, browsing, and other precision desktop work.

Phenom separates the two halves so your arms and wrists can stay in a more open position. The curved 3D shape follows natural finger reach, reducing awkward stretching and making the board feel easier to settle into over long sessions.
Phenom is not shaped this way for style alone. Its organic geometry is designed around the hand, and additive manufacturing makes it possible to create a much more complex ergonomic body than a conventional flat shell would allow.
That means the surface can stay sculpted, intentional, and anatomically driven instead of being simplified into something easier to manufacture but worse to use.
Instead of pushing cursor control and secondary inputs onto separate devices, Phenom brings them onto the keyboard itself. That means fewer reach-outs, less friction between actions, and a setup that reflects how your desk actually operates.
Use the 38 mm trackball for cursor control without reaching for a separate mouse. It is especially useful for code navigation, spreadsheets, browsing, and other precision desktop work.
Add laptop-like gestures, scrolling, and pointer movement directly to the keyboard. A strong option if you want familiar navigation built into the right half.
A tactile rotary control for volume, zoom, scrolling, timeline scrubbing, and other repeated actions that feel better on a dial than on keys.
Trackball, touchpad, and encoder modules can be mixed freely across the keyboard, and the same module standard works on both the left and right halves.
Phenom uses open source firmware and works with Vial, so you can remap keys, build layers, assign macros, and reshape behavior without reflashing every time you want to improve something.
That matters because the board is not only for typing. Once modules, layers, and key logic start working together, the keyboard can take over navigation, editing, shortcuts, and repeated actions with much less switching between devices.
Home position
For optimal use of the keyboard, fingers should be returned to the position indicated by the gray frame.
This allows you to type more efficiently and accurately, while minimizing hand fatigue.
Keyboard layers
Hold the red layer key to activate the number pad and navigation layer.
Hold the blue layer key to activate the symbols layer.
Symbols layer
This layer helps you work with a wide range of symbols, such as punctuation marks, different types of parentheses, and mathematical operators.
Cursor control layer
This layer is automatically enabled when you use the touchpad or trackball.
Hot-swap MX compatibility means the keyboard can work with the switches you already like or with a new setup you want to explore. That gives you more control over feel, sound, resistance, and the overall typing character of the board.
Keycaps matter too. The experience is not only about the shape of the board, but also about the surface your fingers meet on every press.
Keep symbols, navigation, layers, and cursor movement close to the typing position, which reduces interruption during long stretches of writing, coding, and editing.
Pair a trackball or touchpad with an encoder to move through timelines, canvases, and panels with fewer reach-outs to separate devices.
Use layers for launchers, media control, macros, navigation, or workspace shortcuts while keeping the same compact footprint on the desk.
