The world of mechanical keyboards is constantly evolving, but one of the most exciting trends in recent years has been the rise of sophisticated, wireless-first ergonomic designs. At the heart of this movement is ZMK firmware, an open-source project praised for its hyper-efficient power management and robust wireless capabilities. While mainstream brands are just beginning to adopt ZMK, one company has been quietly perfecting its implementation: MoErgo.
Fresh off the success of their lauded Glove80 split keyboard, MoErgo is back with a new contender designed for the on-the-go professional. Meet the Go60, a compact wireless split keyboard that aims to distill the exceptional comfort of its predecessor into a sleek, highly portable package without sacrificing its premium features.
A Closer Look at the MoErgo Go60's Standout Features
As its name implies, the Go60 is a 60% mechanical keyboard, placing it firmly on the compact end of the spectrum. But don't let its size fool you. This is a feature-rich input device built with a clear focus on ergonomics and user experience.
The foundation of any great typing feel is the switch, and the Go60 comes stock with hot-swappable low-profile Kailh Choc V1 switches. In an exclusive partnership, MoErgo is outfitting the Go60 with silent Cherry Blossom switches, promising a quiet yet tactile experience right out of the box. Complementing these switches are POM keycaps, a material cherished by enthusiasts for its smooth, self-lubricating feel and superior resistance to shine and chemicals compared to more common ABS or even PBT plastic.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature is the inclusion of dual 40mm circular touch-pads. Positioned strategically above the thumb clusters, these pads are designed to be used with your index fingers, minimizing lateral wrist movement. This offers a compelling alternative to a traditional mouse, keeping your hands in a comfortable, neutral position throughout your workday.

Designed for a Life in Motion
The Glove80 is renowned for its sculpted key wells, but the Go60 takes a different approach. Its flat, low-profile design—standing at just 17.5mm tall—makes it inherently more travel-friendly. MoErgo has leaned heavily into this portability with a clever "bento box"-style carrying case. This case doesn't just protect the keyboard; it includes integrated storage for the keyboard's snap-fit tenting attachments.
These attachments aren't an afterthought. They magnetically clip onto the keyboard's steel bottom case, offering six distinct tenting angles from a gentle 6.2° to a more pronounced 17°. This means you can achieve a fully ergonomic setup anywhere—from a coffee shop to a hotel room—without needing a separate bag for accessories. The entire package is remarkably light at 600 grams, and the case itself measures a compact 178 × 135 × 43 mm, ensuring it slips easily into most bags.
Battery Life and Connectivity
Powering the wireless experience is a substantial 1,000 mAh battery in each half. MoErgo makes a bold claim of up to two weeks of continuous use with the keyboard powered on 24/7 (with ZMK sleep mode disabled and RGB lighting off). This translates to roughly 336 hours of battery life, a testament to the efficiency of the ZMK firmware. As with any device, enabling the RGB backlighting will significantly reduce this runtime, but the core longevity is impressive.
Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, supporting up to four paired devices with easy switching. For those who prefer a wired connection or need zero-latency gaming, the two halves can be linked with an included TRRS cable, with the keyboard automatically switching to wired mode upon connection.
This wireless freedom sets it apart from many other split options, such as the popular Corne split keyboard (curr. $99 on Amazon), which often require a wire between halves. The Go60 offers the best of both worlds: completely untethered operation or a stable wired connection.
Pricing, Accessories, and Final Thoughts
MoErgo has announced a suite of accessories for the Go60, including a mounting puck for secure desk placement and an optional walnut palm rest for added wrist comfort. It also appears that many accessories from the Glove80 ecosystem will be cross-compatible, which is great news for existing MoErgo fans.
Official pricing for the MoErgo Go60 is still under wraps. Given the premium materials, exclusive switches, and innovative dual trackpads, it's safe to assume it will command a premium price. For reference, the Glove80 starts at $399 with a travel case. However, the simpler, non-keywell design of the Go60 could position it as a more accessible entry point into MoErgo's world of high-end ergonomics.
The goal of the Go60 is clear: to be the ultimate all-in-one input solution for the modern professional who refuses to compromise on comfort, whether they’re at their main desk or working from anywhere in the world.
