I used a Kinesis Advantage as my main keyboard for close to 10 years. A few years ago I got an Ergodox EZ, but just couldn't get into it. I've been using a NiZ Atom68 as my main keyboard for over a year now and am rather happy with it. I have plans to build and try a Kyria with some ultra-light linear keys soon as well. These days I think that there are so many good community designed keyboards that it behooves anyone who has the notion they'd like something better than a standard layout keyboard to do a bit of research and testing. For any keyboard layout it is fairly trivial to make a printout and stick it to your desk to get an impression of how it fits your hand size/shape and your preferred resting/neutral position. There's a good layout comparison tool which makes it trivial to narrow in on your preference as well [0]. Recently I've found Ben Vallack [1] to be an excellent resource on keyboard customization and his philosophy echoes my own, though he shows much more dedication to the craft and exploration of keyboarding than I could ever hope or wish to. He has an excellent series on designing and making your own keyboard [2], as well as well thought out explanations and explorations of creating and learning personalized keyboard layouts [3][4]. His more general explorations of usability in computing and beyond have been inspiring as well [5]. 0: https://github.com/jhelvy/splitKbCompare 1: https://www.youtube.com/c/BenVallack 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKfeJrRIcxw&list=PLCZYyvXAdQpte8dkCPz72m_O-Od9fVEqD 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI-a64EVPPU 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wZ8FRwOzhU 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA_GUYS8UJg&list=PLCZYyvXAdQpvysng5wxGkrnIoFtvPibXM
