Wrapped in a dark anodized aluminum, the base is all sharp lines and curved corners. Its sleek aesthetic is exactly what you’d expect of an ultra-high-end gaming keyboard. Where most ergo keyboards are big and bulky, the Raise is very flat and compact. Even when pressed together, the keyboard measures 12.5 x 7.91 x 1.31 inches (WDH). The right side is slightly wider at 6.68 inches x 7.91 x 1.31 inches. The left piece measures out to 5.91 x 7.91 x 1.31 inches (WDH), including a built-in wrist rest made of thin, firm leatherette. The Raise is wired: Both keyboard halves feature a USB-C port, which feeds into an RGB-laden adapter, which connects to a USB-C-to-A cable.
The two pieces of the keyboard combine to make an expanded 68-key version of a compact 60-percent layout. The Dygma Raise looks unique, even among split keyboards. There’s a lot to love about the Dygma Raise, but you have to dig deep to find it. It is also, for better and worse, the most complex keyboard I’ve used. On the other hand, that meticulous design leaves out some crucial ergo features, so it is very much a compromise. It’s incredibly well-constructed, meticulous in its design and, frankly, just a really cool and fancy gizmo.
That comes with some benefits, as well as some drawbacks. The Raise, by contrast, is very specifically designed as an Esports tool. Dygma isn't the first company to design a split gaming keyboard, but many of them – certainly great models like the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB – put ergonomics first, and offer far less in the way of customization.
