My wife isn't going to be happy about this... I have an ErgoDox EZ at home, and a Moonlander for work. I absolutely love these keyboards. They have played a significant role in reducing pain I experience from arthritis.

how's the moonlander btw? i'm thinking about getting one specifically for work.

What's with the gradient/rainbow led trend? Is it just me that don't have the necessary cultural references to find it appealing? To me I immediately associate it with an unprofessional, cheap look.

I agree. It looks tacky, cheap, unprofessional and distasteful.

Not only that half the RGB keyboards fuck out fairly quickly or have power and USB problems.

Electric truck nuts. That's all it is.

I can totally relate. I bought my ErgoDox EZ a while ago and I still love it. I changed the switches for some lubed linears, and added some foam and now it even sounds better. It also reduced my wrist pain. I'm debating with myself whether to get the Moonlander or not. I don't actually need it, but it looks so cool (and the USB port of the ErgoDox is quite outdated haha).

The latest Ergodox model now has USB-C.

Your wife micromanages your budget?

H: "Honey, I bought a new $370 keyboard."

W: "Another one?! You already have one for the house and one for the office... Where is this one going to go?"

Doesn't have to be budget micromanagement.

If anyone from ZSA is here, please make wireless keyboards. I’m rocking an Ergodox for the past few years. It’s worth every penny, but I cannot carry it around with all the cables.

I'm looking forward to giving the Keychron K15 Pro a spin. It's not _nearly_ as compact as something like the Voyager, but I've never been productive on My only missing feature is layer support, so if anyone from Keychron is listening....

I have quite a few of these sorts of keyboards, including the Ergodox EZ. I think for generalist usage they can be adapted to pretty easily, but as a developer, the lack of dedicated keys for [, ] and ' is an insurmountable obstacle for me.

Those keys are in my opinion perfectly placed on regular keyboards and no amount of layering, tap dancing or anything else will ever come close. Please somebody just make a split ergo keyboard where the right side has extra keys for regular programming symbols on the top layer. The two halves do not need to be symmetrical.
