Layout and positions

This page ties the physical keys (body, wing, dock) to the manual's keycap coordinates, to the position numbers the firmware uses (0x00-0x51), and to the LED map indices (0-135), with what is known and unknown about the light bars and module LEDs. The one thing to know: positions 0x00-0x49 are the 74 keys, 0x4A-0x51 are the eight module bays (not keys), and for keys the LED index equals the position.

At a glance

  • 74 keys, 37 per half: 24 on the body, 10 on the wing, 3 thumb keys on the dock.
  • Each keycap carries a coordinate: side L/R, column A-H, row 1-5.
  • Key positions 0x00-0x49 run row by row, left A to H, then right H to A.
  • The LED map has 136 entries: keys 0-73, light bars 74-87, module-bay blocks 88-111 (left) and 112-135 (right).
  • Which light bar is 74-80, and how many bay indices a Tune or Track follows, are open.

Key groups and coordinates

The keyboard has 74 keys, 37 per half: 24 on the body, 10 on the wing (the two outer columns) and 3 thumb keys on the dock around the module bay DOC12. Every keycap is labeled with a coordinate: side L/R, column A-H, row 1-5. Per half, columns A-E have rows 1-5, columns F-G rows 1-4 and column H rows 1-4: 37 keys DOC2 (the key map in the manual's text layer lists all 74). Columns A and B are the wing (10 keys); columns C-G plus H1 (the tall inner key) are the body (24); H2-H4 are the three dock thumb keys INFERRED (the manual's map matched with the key counts in the photos). NayaFlow 1.25.1 uses the same 74 labels as the manual STATIC4.

Position numbers

Position numbers for the keys are 0x00-0x49 (0-73), covering both halves in one layer; the left half stores and serves the whole table MEASURED (owner's board, 3.41.0, layer reads and writes, 2026-09). The mapping below comes from NayaFlow's label map, and the database position equals the firmware position STATIC MEASURED4:

  • Row 1: 0 LA1, 1 LB1, 2 LC1, 3 LD1, 4 LE1, 5 LF1, 6 LG1, 7 LH1, 8 RH1, 9 RG1, 10 RF1, 11 RE1, 12 RD1, 13 RC1, 14 RB1, 15 RA1 (left A to H, then right H to A).
  • Row 2: 16 LA2 to 22 LG2, then 23 RG2 to 29 RA2 (no column H in row 2: H1 is the tall key).
  • Row 3: 30 LA3 to 36 LG3, 37 LH2, 38 RH2, 39 RG3 to 45 RA3.
  • Row 4: 46 LA4 to 52 LG4, 53 LH3, 54 RH3, 55 RG4 to 61 RA4.
  • Row 5: 62 LA5, 63 LB5, 64 LC5, 65 LD5, 66 LE5, 67 LH4, 68 RH4, 69 RE5, 70 RD5, 71 RC5, 72 RB5, 73 RA5.

Key roles: 64 finger keys; 6 thumb keys (LH2-LH4, RH2-RH4 at positions 37, 53, 67 and 38, 54, 68); 2 tall inner keys (LH1 = 7, RH1 = 8); 2 wide space keys (LE5 = 66, RE5 = 69) STATIC4.

Positions 0x4A-0x51 in every layer are the module bays, not keys; each holds a module-config slot number (or inherit, or empty) MEASURED STATIC (owner's board, 3.41.0, capture 2026-09-03)4:

Position Bay Dock address of that module LED block of that half
0x4A Touch left 0x10 88-111
0x4B Touch right 0x11 112-135
0x4C Track left 0x20 88-111
0x4D Track right 0x21 112-135
0x4E Tune left 0x40 88-111
0x4F Tune right 0x41 112-135
0x50 Float left (never shipped) 0x80 (inferred) 88-111
0x51 Float right (never shipped) 0x81 (inferred) 112-135

The primary table is therefore 0x00-0x51 (82 positions). Double-tap and tap-then-hold behaviors live in a second bank at key position + 0x52 (0x52-0x9B, keys only) MEASURED (owner's board, 3.41.0, 2026-09-03 and 2026-09-21). Detail on Keymap. A 2024 vendor answer described the module configuration as 9 sublayers per layer, 1 for the keyboard and 4 for each dock (one per module type: Touch, Track, Tune, Float), which matches the 8 bay positions DOC INFERRED7.

For tool authors

Positions 0x4A-0x51 are bays, not keys: decoding them as key bindings invents bindings. See Keymap.

The full position table

Positions are firmware positions (read and written on 3.41.0); coordinates come from NayaFlow's label map and the manual; the section column follows the mapping above STATIC MEASURED INFERRED. For keys the LED index equals the position (next section).

Default layer keys

In the v1.0.6 base layer LA5 and RA5 (positions 62 and 73) hold Layer 2 and LH4 and RH4 (67 and 68) hold Layer 1; v1.1.0 keeps these four and adds a Layer 2 hold on the tall inner keys (LH1 Enter and RH1 Backspace, each with "Hold: Layer 2") DOC23. NayaFlow 1.25.1's stock profile binds 62 and 73 to the System layer and 67 and 68 to Layer 1 as "polite" holds STATIC4.

The thumb and inner defaults changed between manuals: v1.0.6 has LH1 Backspace, LH2 Space, LH3 Enter (the right side mirrored, with Enter on RH1 and Backspace on RH3); v1.1.0 (Windows) has LH1 Enter with a Layer 2 hold, LH2 Space, LH3 Backspace, RH1 Backspace with a Layer 2 hold, RH2 Space and RH3 Enter DOC23. The v1.0.6 default keymap duplicates Tab, Caps Lock and Shift on both wing columns (A and B) of the left half, and Shift on both on the right DOC2. See Manuals.

The LED map

The LED map has 136 entries per layer, the same on 3.28.7 and 3.41.0: 0-73 the keys, 74-80 and 81-87 the two light bars (7 each), 88-111 the left module-bay block (24), 112-135 the right module-bay block (24) MEASURED (owner's board, 3.41.0, band painting 2026-09-08; a second board, 3.28.7, highest index 135, 2026-09-19). For keys, the LED index equals the key's position number: a single-key LED write to index 0x49 recolored that key, and NayaFlow's one-key writes use the position as the index MEASURED (owner's board, 3.41.0, 2026-09-01 captures and 2026-09-03 write test). The count fits the hardware: per half 24 + 10 + 3 key LEDs plus a 7-LED light bar = 44, two halves = 88 = indices 0-87 INFERRED1. Details on LEDs.

Indices What Evidence
0-73 the keys, index = position MEASURED
74-80 and 81-87 the two light bars on the outer edges; which bar is 74-80 is open MEASURED OPEN
88-111 left module-bay block MEASURED
112-135 right module-bay block MEASURED
  • Light bars. They sit on the outer edge of each half (on the wing board). NayaFlow's color view draws 74-80 on the left half's outer edge and 81-87 on the right's; an earlier reading of ours put 74-80 on the right; which physical bar answers 74-80 is not settled STATIC MEASURED OPEN4 (details).
  • Bay blocks belong to the bay. Swapping a Tune and a Track between halves kept each side's color MEASURED (owner's board, 3.41.0, 2026-09-08).
  • Touch. A Touch lights through the first index of its block only (88 left, 112 right) MEASURED (owner's board, 3.41.0, 2026-09-10).
  • Tune and Track. For a Tune the number of indices it follows is unsettled (88-96 lit in a band test; 88 alone lit it in a single-index test; on module 2.1.2 only 88-93 took color); the Tune board carries 24 LEDs. For a Track (one LED on the board) no single-index test exists; an early 112-126 reading was a band artifact MEASURED DOC (owner's board, 3.41.0, 2026-09-08 and 2026-09-10; a second board, 3.28.7, 2026-09-19) (details).
  • NayaFlow's model. NayaFlow keeps 97 rows per layer (positions 0-96), of which 90 are placed in its drawing: 74 keys, 14 light-bar LEDs (74-87) and 2 module slots (88 left, 89 right). It paints the whole left bay block from its module color and the whole right block likewise; rows 90-96 carry colors in the stock profile but are never sent to the board STATIC MEASURED4 (owner's board, 3.41.0, 2026-09-09). Which NayaFlow row (88 or 89) feeds each bay's color is not distinguished (both carried the same color in every profile checked) INFERRED (details).
  • New layers. A freshly created layer is not empty: the firmware initializes its key records, its own 136-entry LED map and the eight bay positions MEASURED (owner's board, 3.41.0, 2026-09-03). See Layers.
  • Campaign zones. The 2023 campaign described two side-glow zones per half for battery, charging or connection status, and listed LED zones of 68 (body), 6 (dock edge) and 10 (wing indicators) under a "90 LEDs" headline; the shipped map has one 7-LED bar per half and 74 key LEDs DOC6.

The key matrix

The key matrix on the mainboard has row pads SR1-SR5 and column pads SC1-SC6; the dock board adds its own SR*_2 and SC8_2; keyscan events carry [row][col][state]. How matrix row and column map to position numbers is not recovered DOC STATIC15 (details). See The keyboard half.

Key geometry as NayaFlow draws it

NayaFlow's renderer (exported 2026-09-14) draws adjacent columns 48 px apart (49.6 px between A and B), a plain key 44 x 44 px at 16 px/rem, thumb keys 44 x 58, the tall inner keys 45 x 100, the space keys 112 x 53; it has 34 distinct keycap outlines, and the key board is 992 x 240 px STATIC4. This is a drawing, not a measurement: the physical key pitch and the real positions of the keys on the plates are not measured OPEN (details).

Naya's CAD (shown in a marketing screenshot) named keycap parts per section (Cap_Body_…, wing and dock sets), with the coordinate letters in reversed order (for example C4L for LC4) DOC9. The 2023 campaign gave a typing height of 11.2 mm for the main keys and 9 mm for the dock keys; the dock keys became about 3 mm taller when they moved to PG1232 switches (2024-09) DOC68.
