Work Louder
Work Louder builds keyboards with a more playful, creator-friendly industrial design than most of the ortho market. The current board we recommend here is the XYZ Work Board r2, an Alice-inspired split 40% keyboard kit that is currently in production for April 2026.

Pre-order XYZ Work Board r2XYZ Work Board r2
The XYZ Work Board r2 is Work Louder's new Alice-inspired split 40% keyboard kit. It keeps the brand's playful hardware style, but shifts the lineup toward a more compact split board that still feels built for shortcuts, creative workflows, and distinctive desk setups.
As of March 23, 2026, Work Louder lists it as in production for April 2026, so this is a pre-order rather than an in-stock board.
- Alice-inspired split 40% layout
- Choc V2 low-profile magnetic switches
- Magnetic tenting system
- Compact keyboard kit aimed at creative workflows
- Currently in production for April 2026
Creator Micro
The Creator Micro is still the smaller Work Louder option if you want a dedicated macro pad instead of a full keyboard. It makes the most sense for stream controls, creative app shortcuts, and editing workflows where you want a second programmable surface next to your main board.

The older Work Louder Creator Board appears to be out of stock at the time of this update. Because of that, we removed the old Creator Board buy links on Try Ortho Keys and now point readers to the current Work Louder lineup instead.
If you specifically want a current Work Louder product, the best place to start is the XYZ Work Board r2 above, followed by the Creator Micro if you want a dedicated macro pad.
