https://ergodox-ez.com/ It is my first some keyboard and I still love it as much as when I first got it. There was definitely a learning curve, but it was worth it.

I've been on an Ergodox Ez for ~4 years now and still love it. Took me about 2 weeks to get back up to full proficiency with it, and the programmability of it is fantastic. I've altered the layout a bit to match my workflow, using the Ergodox Ez web UI. I've got a mix of Cherry brown and Kailh Box White switches in it.

Keychron K8 at home and work.

The build quality on my home K8 is perfect.

The work K8 was purchased several months (perhaps a year?) after the home one and the build quality is significantly less good than my home K8. The keyboard feels different (both have Gateron Browns) and the printing on the keycaps is crooked. I've also had a couple keys stop working, but banging on the keyboard seems to fix them for a while.

So, I'm not buying any more Keychrons, because I don't know what's going on over there.
