FAQs 14

Ortholinear or columnar keyboards are not better per se, as there are other features that make a keyboard ergonomic. And also, other factors play a role when deciding which ergonomic keyboard you should buy.
A split columnar or ortholinear keyboard can be considered more ergonomic. As the keys are arranged in columns instead of staggered rows, your fingers don't need to stretch laterally to reach for keys. However, it's not the only factor to measure how ergonomic a keyboard is or when deciding which ergonomic keyboard you should buy.
The amount of time needed to transition to a columnar or ortholinear keyboard may vary depending on your previous usage of ergonomic keyboards as well as your touch typing skills. Most people take between one to four weeks.
Up to 3 devices, and you’ll be able to switch between them easily.
Yes. Per-key RGBW comes as standard, even if you don't select the underglow add-on. The underglow is the RGBW strip that surrounds the base of the keyboard.
Yes, the wireless Dygma Defy will also work with cabes.
Each side has a 2370 mAh battery, so it's 4740 mAh total. With the current firmware, the Defy lasts up to 20 hours with full LED brightness. With brightness at 30% and true sleep active, you can expect 4-5 days, and without LEDs, a bit over that. However, we are working to vastly improve that with future firmware updates. You can also configure different brightness settings for the LED lights, so you can adjust battery consumption.
In Bluetooth mode, the range is about 10 meters. In RF is way larger, more than 20, but our facilities are not large enough to test it much further 😅
The base of the keyboard is quite different depending on your configuration, so it's not possible to install add-ons afterward.
Yes. The Dygma Defy is hot-swappable, meaning you can use any 3-pin or 5-pin switch with an MX stem (which are most of them).
Yes, you can. The software is only required to make changes to the layout. Once those are made, they are stored in the Neuron, that way you can enjoy them in any computer you use.
Yes, our configurator software is compatible with macOS, Linux and even Windows.
Yes, you can. Just make sure that they are MX stem compatible (most of them are). However, note that the Dygma Defy thumbkeys are custom-made, so you won't find custom keycaps for those.
The palm pads are made of silicone with a vegan leather cover. They are held in place with magnets, so it's safe to remove and clean them with water.
