I used the old version of this keyboard for a few years. I liked the layout; it has the advantage of being fairly similar to a standard QWERTY keyboard (e.g. a non-split or Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000) but with a few modifications to make it more compact, and so it's very quick to learn.
Major downside would be that it died within 2 years and I couldn't get any response from support, and the website stopped selling them without making any explanation of whether/when they would be available, so sibling comment complaints about poor customer support seem to suggest a theme here rather than an isolated negative interaction.
I ended up going deeper down the rabbit hole and trying an ErgoDox (https://ergodox-ez.com/ https://ergodox-ez.com/) and then settling on a Keyboardio (https://shop.keyboard.io/ https://shop.keyboard.io/). These have more extreme key remaps, so it took a few weeks to get back up to fluent typing while coding, but I'm fairly happy with where I've ended up.
- lostdog 8y agoSame thing happened to me: I loved the layout, but the keybord died after a year. I switched to a kinesis, since I know other people who have kept theirs for years.
- lowmagnet 8y agoI miss my Kinesis QD ergo. They were good boards. I kinda wish I had fixed it instead of giving it away to someone who could but oh well.
