What's the missing fifth tow you are referring to? The f keys

  Nah, F keys would be a 6th row. It shows up most acutely on the right hand, where in keyboards in this dimension you would expect to see keys underneath the series "nm,./" which might (in my configuration) look like arrow up, down, [ and ]. This is also where you would expect {} to live. Not having an easy place to put these likely means you will have to put them in a layer. Swapping to layers to do [{}] as well as moving the insertion point in text up/down is a non-starter for me.

    I agree with this, I keep eyeing this keyboard (long-term ergodox user) and wanting to like it. Provisionally, I would say that adding three more keys on each side, under ./- on the right one, would make this a keyboard I would try and use. I fear even then that the ergonomics aren't really there, the one downside of the ergodox (which is why the Moonlander thumb cluster looks as it does) is that small buttons are hard to hit with the thumb, which is articulated sideways to a keyboard. Easy to sweep but difficult to select between two small targets, I'd expect to tap two keys often without a lot of practice.
