Lilith Q: Switch Between 65% and 75% Layouts
Feb 24,2025 | KBDcraft store
At KBD Craft, we believe that elegance and innovation go hand in hand. Our latest update to the Lilith keyboard introduces two meticulously designed layouts: 65% and 75%, each crafted with precision to enhance both form and function. More than just an aesthetic upgrade, these layouts are engineered to deliver an intuitive and fluid typing experience while maintaining Lilith’s signature sophistication.
The New 65% Layout – Compact, Yet Powerful
The 65% layout is the ideal balance between functionality and minimalism. By trimming away the traditional function row and numpad, we’ve crafted a streamlined yet fully capable keyboard that retains all the essential keys while maximizing desk space. This layout is perfect for users who prioritize efficiency without compromising on comfort and aesthetics.
Beyond just saving space, the 65% layout is designed for enhanced portability, making it an excellent choice for users who frequently switch between workstations. Whether you're a digital nomad or someone who prefers a clutter-free setup, this layout offers a sleek and practical solution. The dedicated arrow keys and select function keys ensure a familiar typing experience, while customizable key mappings allow for added flexibility. Gamers and coders will appreciate the intuitive layout, which enables fast input without unnecessary distractions.
Additionally, the 65% layout offers great adaptability for those who use multiple devices. With wireless connectivity options, you can easily switch between your laptop, tablet, or even a mobile device, making it a perfect companion for modern workflows. The compact form factor also makes it an excellent option for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts who prefer a lightweight, travel-friendly keyboard without sacrificing essential functionality.
To further enhance its usability, Lilith’s 65% layout incorporates a layer-based function system, allowing users to access additional commands and shortcuts efficiently. This intuitive design compensates for the lack of dedicated function and numpad keys, providing a fluid and seamless typing experience. Whether you need multimedia controls, quick app switching, or specific workflow shortcuts, this layered functionality ensures you never miss a beat.
A Revolutionary 75% Layout – Rethinking Tradition
Unlike conventional 75% keyboards, which feature an inline function row and a right-side column for navigation keys, Lilith’s 75% layout takes a bold departure from tradition. We’ve unified the extra keys into a left-side column, featuring 9 customizable keys that replace the traditional right-side arrangement.
This innovative design offers several advantages:
- Improved Ergonomics– Keeping all essential keys within closer reach reduces finger travel, allowing for a more natural and efficient typing experience.
- Seamless Workflow Integration– With the extra keys positioned on the left, frequent shortcuts become more accessible, especially for designers, coders, and gamers who rely on quick access to macros.
- Aesthetic Harmony– By eliminating the right-side key cluster, the keyboard maintains a clean, symmetrical look that aligns with Lilith’s refined design philosophy.
- Customization Freedom– The 9-key left column provides a unique opportunity for personalization, whether you assign them to media controls, macros, or workflow shortcuts.
- Better Hand Balance– Placing the additional keys on the left side ensures a more balanced typing experience, allowing for a more natural use of both hands without overloading the right side.
- Optimized Navigation & Productivity– The left-side cluster can be programmed for quick access to navigation commands, making it highly efficient for professionals working with text-heavy tasks or software requiring rapid input changes.
By moving the navigation keys to a single, efficient column, Lilith’s 75% layout ensures a more compact and balanced typing setup. This makes it easier to maintain a comfortable hand position while improving workflow efficiency. Whether you're working with complex spreadsheets, coding, or gaming, this left-aligned column keeps all essential commands within reach without cluttering the design.

Moreover, both layouts support hot-swappable switches, allowing users to customize their typing experience with ease. Whether you prefer linear, tactile, or clicky switches, Lilith ensures that you can fine-tune your keyboard to match your personal preference.
