The Idea Behind CTRL 100

Everyone’s posture, desk, and setup is different. So why should a keyboard have just one fixed angle?

Focus Lab set out to create a smarter solution, replacing traditional kickstands with a motorized, adjustable typing angle. After nearly a year of testing and refinement, the system was brought to life in the Ctrl 100 — making ergonomic adjustment smoother, more precise, and built around you.

Designed Around You

The Ctrl 100 offers a carefully tuned 6°–13° adjustment range, covering everything from upright work to relaxed, reclined positions.


A full adjustment takes around 12 seconds, balancing smooth control with responsive movement. Focus Lab also embraces the natural mechanical sound and subtle vibration of the motor, letting every adjustment feel as mechanical as it is functional.

Comfort Meets Detail

Focus Lab designed the Ctrl 100 with a 21.5mm front height, balancing comfort and a premium feel without requiring an additional wrist rest.


A subtle T-shaped transition along the lower edge improves the overall form, while the magnetic front accent strip with a ripple-textured anodized finish adds a refined touch to the design.

Refined Layout Design

The Ctrl 100 introduces a unique dual-drop layout for the spacebar and arrow keys, combining the comfort of a lowered layout with a cleaner overall appearance.


By removing the traditional bottom crossbar and integrating a subtle wraparound design, Focus Lab keeps the top-case borders visually consistent while creating a smoother, more cohesive transition between the upper and lower cases.

Premium Build & Gasket Mount

The Ctrl 100 is precision CNC-machined from 6063 aluminum, finished with 220-grit anodizing or ultra-fine powder coating.


Its PCB gasket mount, imported Poron cushioning, and 7-layer acoustic filling deliver a premium build with refined sound and feel, straight out of the box.

Premium PBT Keycaps

The Ctrl 100 comes with high-quality PBT dye-sub keycaps, co-developed with Gaoxinda and crafted with five-sided and semi-five-sided processing.


Their smooth, refined surface enhances the keyboard’s overall sound profile with a more solid, defined character.

Choice of Switches

The Ctrl 100 comes with two HMX-tuned switch options: HMX Taro (Clack) / FR4 Plate for sharp, responsive feedback, and HMX Custard (Thock) / PP Plate for a smoother, quieter feel.

Both will have their own distinct plate which will make the switch shine accordingly, letting you choose the feel that suits your setup and playstyle.
