- The 7key layout features a "rice ball" in the center, with three keys on either side.
- The “rice ball” can be used as part of a staircase or for backing and emphasis, similar to the 5key layout, offering a variety of uses.
- Simultaneous presses of three or more keys fit together cleanly, providing the flexibility to make the chart feel either light or heavy depending on how it’s used.
- Minimum width: 600px
- Step spacing: 55px
- The CW Edition supports 7-key and 12-key alternate modes.

| 7ikey | Similar to 7key, but this multi-key layout feels lighter since it doesn’t use the space bar. |
| 11key | A keymode that combines elements of 5key and 7key. It is characterized by a style that involves moving your hands. |
| 8key | A keymode that adds the Enter key to 7key. It is characterized by a style where the right hand is spread out. |
| 9Akey | A keymode that adds the E and I keys to 7key. It is shaped like two 5keys connected and is also called "double play." |
| 9Bkey | A keymode where the 7key is spread out horizontally. It is similar to the 9Akey, but this one uses the little finger. |
| 9dkey | A keymode where the Space key in the 7key is replaced by V, B, and N. It features a style where both hands are extended inward to reach the keys. |
