R-Go Split Break — Wired Ergonomic Split Keyboard with Break Indicator, US International, Black
Two-part splitBreak indicator9 mm thinWired — no battery
The R-Go Split Break (RGOSP-USWIBL) is an ergonomic keyboard in two separate halves that you place where your hands actually are: shoulder-width apart so the wrists stay straight, angled to taste, or snapped back together with the built-in magnet into one compact board. At 9 mm it is thinner than almost anything else on a desk, so hands and wrists stay flat, and the scissor keys need very little force. An LED inside the keyboard, driven by the free R-Go Break software, works like a traffic light — green while you are working healthily, orange when a short break is due, red when you have missed one. This is the wired version: a 150 cm USB-C cable with a USB-A converter, so there is no battery to charge and nothing to pair. This part number is the US International layout in black. In the box: keyboard (two parts), USB-C cable with USB-A converter and manual.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is the wired Split Break — it plugs in over USB-C with a USB-A converter included, so it works on any computer without Bluetooth and never needs charging. The wireless version (RGOSBUSWLBL, Bluetooth 5) is a separate part number, 12 mm thick and 350 g. R-Go lists Windows and macOS; the break indicator needs the free R-Go Break software, and the keyboard types normally without it. There is no numeric keypad — R-Go sells the Numpad Break separately so you can put it on whichever side you prefer — and no backlight. Layout: US International QWERTY, the layout most people in Cyprus type on.
Best For
✓ Wrist, shoulder or neck strain from long typing days
✓ Occupational-health or physiotherapy recommendations for a split keyboard
✓ Shared and hot-desk machines where pairing a Bluetooth keyboard is a nuisance
✓ Small desks — the halves snap into a 300 mm board
✓ Anyone who wants the ergonomics without managing another battery
✓ Reminders to actually take breaks
Key Features
Two parts, any position
Separate the halves to shoulder width so the wrists stay straight and the shoulders open; one movement and the magnet joins them into a compact keyboard so the mouse stays close.
Break indicator
An LED in the keyboard shows break status through the free R-Go Break software: green, orange, red — positive feedback rather than another pop-up.
9 mm and 380 g
Thinner than the wireless version because there is no battery: hands and wrists stay flat, and the scissor keys need little force. Plastic (ABS and PC) with aluminium.
Wired and simple
A 150 cm USB-C cable with a USB-A converter in the box. Plug it in and type — no pairing, no charging, no dongle to lose.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the wireless Split Break?
This one is wired over USB-C, 9 mm thick and 380 g. The wireless RGOSBUSWLBL pairs over Bluetooth 5, is 12 mm thick and 350 g, and has a battery to charge.
Do the two halves connect to each other?
They are joined by a cable between them and share one USB connection to the computer; a built-in magnet lets you snap them together into a single compact keyboard.
Do I need the software?
Only for the coloured break indicator and the break statistics. The keyboard types normally without it.
Is there a numeric keypad?
No. R-Go sells the Numpad Break separately so you can place it on either side of the split.
Singular Expert Insight
The Split Break is what to try when a curved one-piece board like the Logitech ERGO K860 still does not give enough separation — here the halves go exactly where your hands sit. The wired version is the one for shared desks and anyone who would rather not manage another battery. Pair it with an R-Go vertical or HE Break mouse from our
wireless mice, see our
keyboards, and tell us whether you need the numpad or a different layout.
