The sad reality currently is that if you want ergonomic design, mechanical switches, and customizable open source firmware, you're going to have to pay for it. The Moonlander is basically mid-tier in terms of price for a ergonomic mechanical keyboard. For what it's worth I'm very happy with my Moonlander, but I would have had a hard time convincing myself to bite the bullet and pay for the keyboard myself if my employer hadn't offered to cover the bill. I'm glad I did though, it made a big difference for my achey, unhappy hands.
