Flagship Invention · Patent Pending

OrbitKeys

QWERTY was designed in 1873 to slow typists down and prevent typewriter jams. 153 years later it still runs on every phone. OrbitKeys is a family of adaptive radial keyboards built from scratch for one-thumb touchscreen input.

OrbitKeys True Orbit
Tier 1
True Orbit

Concentric orbital rings place the most-used letters closest to your thumb. Calm, precise, learnable.

OrbitKeys Sunburst
Tier 2
Sunburst

Directional sectors expand and contract after every keystroke, predicting your next letter in real time.

OrbitKeys Yin-Yang
Tier 3
Yin-Yang

Two AI-driven fields continuously rebalance the entire layout around what you're most likely to type.

Why It Matters

Built for the device people actually use.

153
years since QWERTY was designed to slow us down
  • ◇Most-used letters orbit closest to the thumb — less travel, faster typing
  • ◇Hold the center to space — eliminating the single most frequent thumb movement
  • ◇Predictive geometry: the keyboard moves toward your thumb, not the reverse
  • ◇Designed for phones, watches, AR/VR, automotive — wherever thumbs meet glass
  • ◇Protected by USPTO provisional patent — multiple designs, one priority date
