There's a useful tool for comparing ergo layouts and printing out 1:1 scale templates to get an idea of how they would fit your hand size:

It's not quite a substitute for actually using a real keyboard, but it can help to narrow down what you might want to try.
- microtonal 3y agoSadly printing out 2D layouts doesn't work for contoured keyboards. Switching to the contoured Kinesis Advantage was the largest improvement for me (much better than the Kyria, Ferris Sweep, Moonlander, or Keyboardio Model 100). I would've never tried the Advantage if I had used a flat keyboard comparison tool. (Now using a Glove80, which provides benefits over the Advantage2 and doesn't have the issues of the Advantage360 Pro.)
- lycopodiopsida 3y agoHow do you find the choc switches on Glove80 compared to mx on KA2? Is the small amount of travel more problematic, because you bottom out more? I am thinking about getting one, but am unsure about the choc switches and which type I should get.
