X-Bows Surfing — Freedom to Find Your Own Typing Position

No single keyboard angle fits everyone, every time. Surfing is a 60-key wireless split ergonomic keyboard that lets you independently position each half to find a typing setup that works for you.

Adjustable positioning: Customize tenting, tilt, splay, height, and separation using compatible camera ball heads or articulating magic arms.
Natural finger movement: X-Bows' distinctive key layout follows the natural movement paths of your fingers for relaxed typing.
Wireless freedom: Position each half freely, without a cable connecting them.
Premium construction: CNC-machined transparent acrylic chassis.
Personalized control: ZMK firmware supports customizable keymaps and layers.

You may request a change-of-mind return within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in their original condition, and include the original packaging and accessories.

Return shipping: Customers are responsible for arranging and paying change-of-mind return shipping to our warehouse in Shenzhen, China. International shipping costs can be significant, and applicable customs charges may apply.

For verified defective, damaged, or incorrect items, X-Bows covers the appropriate return or replacement shipping costs.

Position Each Half Your Way

Surfing gives you room to adjust each half to your hands and workspace, rather than relying on a single fixed position.

Tenting & Tilt

Change the palm-down angle and front-to-back slope of each half.

Splay & Separation

Rotate and space the halves to follow your forearms and preferred arm position.

Height & Placement

With compatible mounts, raise or reposition each half to suit different desk setups.

Mounting options depend on compatible hardware and the kit selected. Check the kit contents before ordering.

Ergonomic Benefits & Adapting to Surfing

What Benefits Can You Expect?

Independent halves let you adjust the keyboard around your forearms and hands. This flexibility may make it easier to find a comfortable, less awkward typing posture.

How Long Does It Take to Adapt?

There is no set timeline. Getting used to the key arrangement, separation, and ZMK layers can take practice, depending on your previous keyboard and typing habits.

Tips for a Smoother Transition

Begin with a comfortable position. Change one setting at a time, practice familiar typing tasks, and refine the angles and spacing as you go.

Why Keyboard Position Matters

Research shows that keyboard geometry can influence wrist and forearm posture. Different adjustments affect different movements; no single setting is best for everyone.

Tenting & Splay

Experimental studies report that tenting can reduce forearm pronation, while split and opening angles can reduce sideways wrist deviation.

Read the research review

Slope & Height

Keyboard slope and height also affect wrist, elbow, and shoulder position. The whole workstation matters more than any one angle.

Read the keyboard geometry study

These studies address keyboard design and posture generally. They are not clinical tests of Surfing and do not establish prevention or treatment of injury. See also OSHA's keyboard workstation guidance.

Can I use my own camera ball heads or magic arms with Surfing? +

Yes. X-Bows Surfing features a standard 1/4-inch threaded mounting interface, making it compatible with suitable photographic ball heads and articulating magic arms.

For stable typing, we strongly recommend choosing a ball head or magic arm with a manufacturer-rated load capacity greater than 6 kg (13.2 lb) for each keyboard half.

Note: A load rating above 6 kg is our recommended selection criterion, but stability also depends on the mount's design, extension, locking mechanism, and installation.

Yes. Each Surfing keyboard half can be positioned independently.

With compatible mounting hardware, you can customize tenting, tilt, splay, height, and separation to suit your hands, preferred typing posture, and workspace.

Surfing is a wireless split keyboard. No connecting cable is required between the two keyboard halves during wireless operation.

Does Surfing support hot-swappable mechanical switches? +

Use compatible (Standard 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches) switches and take care when inserting or removing them to avoid damaging the sockets or switch pins.

Can I customize Surfing's keys and keyboard layers? +

Yes. Surfing uses ZMK firmware, which supports customizable key mappings and multiple keyboard layers.
