The Dygma Raise comes with its own carrying case.The founder and CEO of Dygma, Luis Sevilla, hails from an esports background, formerly serving as the coach for the Fnaticteam back in 2016. Working with esports athletes gave Luis a unique perspective on the challenges these players face. All too often he would see 18-year old players incapacitated by repetitive stress injuries that are typically reserved for people twice their age. This is what inspired him to develop the Raise.
The Raise presents itself as a single unit but is easily separated into two halves by pulling on either side. The two boards are secured together by a series of magnetized pins. This hardware is very sturdy and has no problem keeping both ends together even when held up by one side. Impressive, given the heft of the keyboard itself.Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge
You can configure the Raise with eight different 3rd party switches, with options ranging from Cherry MX Reds to the Kailh Speed Silver linear switches found in mine. You’re also welcome to swap in any three or five-pin switch you prefer. It can be configured to support ANSI or ISO layouts and currently ships with PBT keycaps for six region-specific layouts. All of the basic keys use a standard keycap layout, allowing you to swap in custom sets.
Dygma uses its own proprietary software to remap keys and macros called Bazecor. This software is available for PC, Mac, and Linux. The interface is very easy to use and encourages tinkering with your settings to make the Raise your own. Bazecor allows you to control the RGB lighting on a per-LED basis but currently doesn’t offer any animations aside from the lighting effects baked into the keyboard’s firmware.Shifting to the second layer changes the lighting and reveals alternate functions.

Interesting concept
I’ve never used a split keyboard design in my life that was worth a damn.
The UltHackKeyboard is a much better option: Open source, open hardware, modularity, etc.
Nice
Looks amazing but that's a little over budget for me
