Discovered it yesterday in another thread.

This video looks amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aLmO97Y2Is

I had a look at the long-term review thread but couldn’t find any comment for this one, so maybe this thread will be more successful?

No, but I’ve used an Azeron for gaming for a bunch of years now. It’s great for gaming but I don’t think I would even recommend anything remotely close to actual typing.

I had an opportunity to play with one for 10 minutes or so once, and my exposure was super limited, but it didn’t immediately feel like it was better than options that were only a few hundred bucks all in.

Could show increasing value long term maybe and I wouldn’t say it’s a bad product but I couldn’t see enough to justify getting one with the other cheaper and potentially better options out there.

$750 - $1,000 for the prebuilt? $400 for the DIY option?

I know mechs are known for being expensive, but yikes. This looks cool and it seems like a novel idea, but it’s hard to rationalize that purchase when there’s Kenesis or Moonlanders selling at ~$400.

It’s a very niche type of product.

800€ for 10 years is 80€ a year. Can make sense depends how much time you spend using it.

Remapping my brain<->fingers for multi key presses was crazy for me at the start on thumb clusters. Cannot imagine on this

Have you seen the video about the thermoformable palm rests?
That and the interchange-able input devices are pretty neat.

It’s difficult to find reviews on it though. And in general finding people who’ve used it.
I guess their Discord would be the best place for that.
I’ve also seen a few reviews on Reddit.

I did not, thanks for sharing!

Yes, it seems to be a very niche product. Still very promising!

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 Spam

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.
