BLOQ uses high-strength neodymium magnets for secure, tool-free connections:

  • Instant attachment: Modules snap onto the keyboard's magnetic connection points and lock in automatically
  • Secure hold: 800g snap force — strong enough for daily use and intense gaming sessions
  • Easy removal: Detach any module in under a second with no tools required
  • Auto-detection: Each module is recognized by the keyboard instantly — no setup, no calibration

No pairing, no drivers. Every module is plug-and-play from the moment it snaps on.

At launch, the BLOQboard ships with 6 modules:

  • Macro Pad: Fully programmable keys for macros, hotkeys & shortcuts
  • Function Key Row: Physical F1–F12 keys for precise software control
  • Audio Slider: Volume fader + dedicated mute button
  • Numpad: Full numeric keypad for data entry and navigation
  • Wrist Rest: Ergonomic support for comfortable long sessions
  • Display Module: Compact LCD/OLED for macros, BPM, battery status & more

The keyboard expands in 4 directions (left, right, top, bottom) across 6 module slots. More modules are planned post-launch based on community feedback.

Standard keyboards are static and rigid. The BLOQboard is a living, configurable system:

  • Traditional keyboard: Buy it, use it, live with its limitations forever.
  • BLOQboard: One keyboard. Infinite configurations. Snap on exactly the modules you need for your current workflow — then swap them in seconds when your work changes.

It's also backed by the BLOQ App — a single piece of software to control everything: lighting, key mapping, modules, presets, layers, profiles, macros, and more. No driver conflicts. No four separate apps. Zero bloat.

Perfect for: Developers, designers, gamers, streamers, audio engineers, and any power user who refuses to let their hardware dictate how they work.

BLOQ works natively across all major operating systems:

  • Windows: 10, 11 and later
  • macOS: 10.15 Catalina and later
  • Linux: All major distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc.)
  • iOS: 13+ via Bluetooth
  • Android: 6.0+ via Bluetooth

Wireless connectivity runs over 2.4GHz USB dongle or Bluetooth 5.0. Full macro programming, RGB control, and module management is available on every supported OS through the open software.

The BLOQboard ships with a fully public, documented API so developers can build deep integrations with any app or service:

  • RGB integration: Program custom LED patterns that react to any app or event in real time
  • Macro interfaces: Deep key remapping and programmable macro sequences
  • Module auto-registration: Build on the same protocol the keyboard uses to detect and activate modules
  • Auto-reconfiguration: Trigger layout changes automatically when module positions change

Full API documentation releases alongside the product in Q4 2026.
