Naya B.V., maker of the Naya Create split keyboard, files for bankruptcy — future support remains unclear

Naya B.V., the Dutch company behind the Naya Create split keyboard, has filed for bankruptcy as of August 18, 2026.

Public records from Dorhout Advocaten, the firm handling the bankruptcy proceedings, list Naya B.V.’s registered address, bankruptcy date, and company registration number.

At this time, it remains unclear whether repairs, warranty service, or software updates for the Naya Create will continue.

Naya Create is a modular split keyboard

Naya Create is a low-profile split keyboard.

It features the ability to attach modules such as a trackball, touchpad, or dial to the main body, and was brought to market following a crowdfunding campaign.

In Japan, backers were recruited through Makuake, with a shipping status update posted on July 7, 2026.

While the hardware design was ambitious, software and firmware issues were also reported.

Kris Tun documented a case in which a firmware update erased the default layer keybindings, rendering the keyboard unable to register input.

Although it was not a complete hardware failure and could be resolved by re-uploading the configuration, the process required relying on user information shared via Discord.

Products like this rely on dedicated software to modify keymaps and control modules.

As a result, if the company ceases operations, even if the hardware remains functional, future OS compatibility and bug fixes may no longer be provided.

Split keyboard maker ElimKeys also reports on the bankruptcy

ElimKeys, the company behind the Elytra split keyboard, has also covered Naya B.V.’s bankruptcy on its official blog.

The post advises Naya Create owners to save local copies of the NayaFlow installer, configuration files, and purchase records.

It also notes that Naya Create units currently working properly will not immediately stop functioning due to the bankruptcy.

However, it points out that future firmware updates, repairs, replacement parts, and product warranty support remain unclear.

While it’s possible that another company could acquire Naya B.V.’s business or product assets, no announcements regarding acquisition or business continuation have been confirmed as of the article’s publication.

It’s worth noting that ElimKeys operates in the same split keyboard market as Naya.

The company’s article is provided as reference information for users, and the bankruptcy confirmation itself is based on publicly available information from Dorhout Advocaten.

Warranty and software updates remain uncertain

As of this writing, Naya has not announced any post-bankruptcy support policy.

Naya Create units already in users’ hands will not immediately stop working due to the bankruptcy.

However, there is a possibility that software and firmware could become unavailable in the future.

Current users should consider saving necessary installers, configuration files, and purchase records locally.

Summary

That covers what we know about Naya B.V.’s bankruptcy.

Greenkeys previously communicated with Naya regarding layout labeling during the Japanese crowdfunding campaign.

While the ambitious modular design drew attention as a next-generation keyboard, software-related issues were also reported on social media and elsewhere.

What remains to be seen is whether repairs, warranty service, and continued availability of NayaFlow and firmware will be maintained for Naya Create.

Further announcements are awaited.
