If only they'd make a split layout ergo design. One of the only mechanical ergos out there (available today) is the Matias Ergo Pro. And it's got a lot of dumb design decisions. Like dedicated copy/cut etc keys that just send Ctrl-C Ctrl-X etc. Bizarre. Strange placement of Ctrl that still, after months of usage, cause me typos. And a remote Esc that hurts more than normal to reach. Among other silly key placements. All of these for no good reason. A 20 minute revision during design and it'd be a perfect keyboard.
I'd get a Kinesis but they're so huge and 90s looking.
Most promising looking device is the Keyboardio, but that'll be a year or so.
- benburton 11y agoBest bet is to wait for Massdrop to relaunch that ErgoDox kit: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/ergodox?mode=guest_open https://www.massdrop.com/buy/ergodox?mode=guest_open
- pimlottc 11y agoLooks nice, any idea what the cost was/would be?
- mavrc 11y agoUsually in the $250 range, unless you decide to go completely nuts on the keycaps. Then, well, the sky's the limit these days.
- alxndr 11y agoIf you're not looking forward to doing the soldering yourself, check out the Ergodox EZ campaign (funded but still open): https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ergodox-ez-an-incredible-mechanical-keyboard https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ergodox-ez-an-incredible-...
- benburton 11y agoLooks beautiful, but I think I've blown my "keyboard budget" for the next year :)
- SamReidHughes 11y agoJust get two HHKB Pro 2's and put them side by side.
