Similar to the previous Alice keyboards, it boasts a slightly split look and is heightened. Ergonomics is not the main focus of the design, but it is slightly more comfortable than a standard keyboard as it elevates the wrist at a neutral angle to allow the forearms to rest. Additional details include the stock keycaps and switches, the [gasket-mounted design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keychron-4), and small silicone bumpers on the top and bottom frames. This is applied in order to help with preventing metal contact and reduces vibration and high-pitched pings.
