Neo was released in 2004 and open sourced to allow multiple users to contribute to. It was developed with the experiences of other ergonomic layouts like Dvorak in mind. It is mainly targeted at German users, but supports nearly all characters of Latin-based alphabets, as well as the Vietnamese and some African alphabets. It consists of six layers, available by combinations of multiple modifier keys. Using these layers there are special characters available which are not easily available in QWERTY-based layouts, like mathematical symbols and Greek letters. The layers are as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Layer
! Usage
|-
| 1
| Lowercase characters
|-
| 2
| Uppercase characters, typographical characters
|-
| 3
| Special characters, especially  for programming, etc.
|-
| 4
| Navigation keys, Numberblock, etc.
|-
| 5
| Greek lowercase characters
|-
| 6
| Mathematical symbols and Greek uppercase characters
