I guess for me the biggest difference compared to a Charybdis is that it’s a professional product.

I love the Charybdis as a project, but due to the price, I would rather go for something that can resist the test of time.

I’ve had a few Kinesis boards, and honestly the build quality wasn’t there for the price of competitors. I’m running a ZSA moonlander now and it is a significantly better experience than I had with the split boards from K.

If you are all in on split keyboards, I would recommend the glove80

If you didn’t buy the Advantage 360 yet, there is a refurbished store and I found a $50 off coupon. Saved about $100 on the Advantage 360 Pro. The pro wound up being cheaper. You can use it for the backlight but wired if you don’t want Bluetooth.

Thanks for sharing, I just noticed their store only delivers to the US, and I live in Europe, so unfortunately I’ll have to get it at a reseller

I really would love to even test drive the keys or the layout but the price point is just absurd for these things. Anyone have a suggestion for someone wanting to jump into the ergo keyboard game?

Take a look at the Dygma keyboards.

I currently use the Dygma Raise and am waiting for delivery of a Raise 2 later this year. If you’re looking for a columnar split, the Dygma Defy might be more your style.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn’t exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

No excessive posting/“shilling” for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.
