Ok, I ended up going with the Glove80 ergonomic keyboard. I've not spent this much on a keyboard before, so my hopes are high on this purchase.
I did some research before I pulled the trigger. Originally, I was leaning towards the Kinesis Advantage 2 or 360, but after reading some reviews and YouTube videos, I went with the Glove80.

@zekjur Have you tried the #MoErgo #Glove80? In my opinion it’s the best keyboard out there with the historical Kinesis geometry. The thumb clusters, in particular, are a big improvement.

IIRC, they said having LEDs anywhere else than under the keycaps would have made the keyboard even bulkier than the keywells already force it to be. I found that argument convincing.Also, in using a Glove80 as my daily driver for several years (since the Kickstarter), I can say I don't miss the LEDs at all. YMMV, of course.

I'm a #mechanicalkeyboard fan, currently using the Owlab Spring Alice layout keyboard and I really like it. But I've always wanted to try a split keyboard like the #zsavoyager, with mounting options, tenting, etc.
Came across curved ones like the Glove80 while researching, and this #Kickstarter project for stem risers or what they call tilters. I can't wait to try out this concave shape keycap setup! Anyone else here swears by the #Glove80 or equivalent?

After years of interest in split ergonomic keyboards, I finally bit the bullet and ordered a MoErgo Glove80! Really excited about its ergonomic design, especially the concave key wells and thumb clusters. Hope it arrives soon! 🤩

I’m falling down the #splitkeyboard rabbit hole - and wondering how far I go for my first one?
The #zsa #moonlander or the #glove80?
Or do I go all out and build a kit? (Probs not, as I’m not practical 😂)
For context, I’ve had back problems for years and RSI is really starting to kick in - even with an active gym routine - still struggle when typing all day.

Ich habe von einer #Ergodox (Cherry MX brown) auf eine #glove80 (Kailh Choc v1 brown) umgestellt - hat sich gelohnt, denn sie konkave Tastenanordnung erleichtert mir das Schreiben.
Was mich aber bei beiden stört: der lange Tastenhub. Ich komme von Cherry G230 (diese flachen mit Rubber-dome-Scheren-Tasten), die habe zwar keinen Klickpunkt, aber der Weg ist kurz. Bei den MX und den Choc ist der Weg weit. Und obwohl sie beide angeblich "takitil" sind, spüre ich fast nichts und weiß daher oft nicht, ob die Taste angesprochen hat.
Hat jmd. eine Idee was ich machen kann? Üben - aber was?
(Umstellen auf "Clicky" scheidet aus, weil zu laut.) -
This is (one of the reasons) why I'm using an orthogonal #keyboard with thumb keys: one gets modifiers symmetricaly on both sides. E.g. #ergodox #glove80

@ChristianKrebel for #tenting, you can always build on them as this person have!
The ‘problem’ of the #Moonlander, and also of the #Glove80, is that they take a good amount of space on the #backpack.. now, if that is a problem, only depends on you… but if #portability is on top of the list, the #Voyager can only be beaten by custom ones… ^^
The problem for me, is the only 2 thumb keys, I think 3 would have been perfect! :blobaviator: #ZSA do you hear me? XD

I've been updating my #Linux programming environment recently. Using a nice Geekom Mini PC (i9-13900H 32GB RAM + 2TB SSD), switched to #Debian and #NeoVim to work on #PrayerOfHannah
I'm also learning to touch type properly for the first time but using a #Glove80 split ergonomic keyboard with a very clever "Glorious Engrammer" key map https://github.com/sunaku/glove80-keymaps -
@esther Hmm, I can offer an opposing data point: for the last 15 years, I've been typing on a columnar keyboard on my desk at work (#KinesisAdvantage 1 with QWERTY) and on row-staggered laptop keyboards (QWERTZ) in meetings, but on row-staggered keyboards (QWERTZ) at home. No trouble whatsoever switching back and forth between them!
Then, 8 months ago, I got a #Glove80 columnar #SplitKeyboard (QWERTY) that I use both in the office and at home. But I can still type on those laptops in meetings!

Spent some quality time with my Glove80 and Engram-based layout yesterday. I think this is, in fact, the end game. I’m still at 0 wpm on MonkeyType (having not used it or practiced for a couple of weeks), but it just feels really nice.
-
@chrisisgr8 Oh, going split (either fixed-split like my 2008 #KinesisAdvantage or full-split like my new #Glove80) alone will _mercilessly_ tell you about using the wrong hand for keys & force you to break that habit. 😄
OTOH a contoured keeb without "row stagger" helps a lot in learning touch typing (i.e. using all 10 fingers without looking). It certainly did for me (IIRC I used ~4-6 fingers before I switched to the split keyboard).
But yeah, unfortunately it's not cheap. 😕 Worth it, though.

#Glove80, a split #ContouredKeyboard with low-profile keys. Got it 5 months ago.Previously, I used a #KinesisAdvantage for 14 years.

@TheSecondVariation
Definitely! There are many #Linux users on the #MoErgo Discord community.#Glove80 doesn't use special drivers or dongles, it's just USB HID spec compliant over either USB or BLE.
If you're wondering about how configuring the keymap works: there's a vendor-hosted webapp which spits out the firmware file. Installing that is just like putting the file on a USB stick. (Alternatively, you can build the #ZMK-based firmware yourself.)

@foxxtrot
Do you know about these?
https://www.moergo.com/products/mcc-pom-1u-pk2?variant=44253212246289I have no need for homing keys myself, but they look well thought out to me. Probably superior to anything one can 3D print.
Oh, and regarding "take some getting used to": when I made the switch from flat non-split staggered to fixed-split ortholinear curved #KinesisAdvantage, it took me only about 2 weeks to get back to my previous speed. Hang in there!
Oh and if anyone wonders: switching from that to #Glove80 now was way easier.

Here's a fresh #Glove80 review by Kristina Panos:
https://hackaday.com/2023/03/22/glove80-keyboard-sure-fits-like-one/
"I dig this #keyboard a lot. I think it works quite well for small hands, but I doubt that medium hands would feel cramped at all. (...)
Although I must disclose that I received this as a free sample for review, I would absolutely spend the money on one. It seems that #MoErgo really did think of everything when it comes to ergonomic portability, and it shows."

@matthewhowell
You know what's funny? When one looks for a split contoured #ErgonomicKeyboard, it's the other way round: there are exactly TWO commercially available models - #KinesisAdvantage360 and #Glove80.Last month, I got the latter. Previously, I used a #KinesisAdvantage, one of TWO commercially available non-split countoured keyboards (the other being #Maltron).

"i use a keyboard an awful lot in my job"
Well in that case, you should IMHO invest in (future) hand/wrist/arm health by switching to a contoured keyboard like #KinesisAdvantage, its 360 variant or (my personal preference) the newcomer #Glove80. For the latter, see this post of mine: https://nerdculture.de/@tynstar/109845607828224996

#MoErgo, maker of my #Glove80 split #ErgonomicKeyboard, just stated on Discord they don't like to rip you off by turning essential features (like detachable palm rests) into accessories:
»We don't charge extra for:
- BLE
- RGB (starting from Batch 2)
- Tenting kit
- Palm rests
- Custom mounting support
- Support for alternative layouts such as Dvorak/Colemak
- Support for arbitrary layouts (yes, you can swap any keys without buying keycaps)

@Beowulf
You probably didn't have a #wireless #split #ErgonomicKeyboard in mind but technically, I can legally answer the question with "yes, I recommend #Glove80". 🙃 At least if you get the add-on keycap set (every keycap is interchangable) to turn it into a QWERTZ. It's not cheap, but no #contoured keyboard is. And I would not recommend a flat keyboard to anybody. -
Getting used to my #Glove80, a #split #ErgonomicKeyboard. Really enjoying my #CustomLayout so far, especially having Shift, Ctrl, Alt & Win on *both* thumbs, unlike #KinesisAdvantage.
Next step to increase comfort is trying #tenting: raise the middle part so that my forearm bones are less twisted and more towards a natural handshake position. Starting with ~ 16 mm (pictured left), but this #keyboard could go way higher!

@daniel @glove80community #MechanicalKeyboard #ErgonomicKeyboard
Personally, I was a backer of the #Glove80 kickstarter campaign and we got a decent discount; on the other hand I ordered a bunch of add-ons. So my price is not comparable.
However, I copied your question to the #MoErgo help forum on Discord.🧵1/2

»… Other times projects are open sourced when #monetization was not a factor and a less significant amount of resources were put into the project's development.
Here, it might make sense for #MoErgo to open source enough for the public to develop their own side cars / attachments. But none of the above reasons apply where it would make sense to open source the design of the #keyboard itself«

@shoq @lispi314
I've been using a #KinesisAdvantage keyboard for over 14 years now and would never wanna go back to a flat keyboard. Some of them may be slightly less unhealthy, but IMO anybody who types at work & wants to continue for decades absolutely needs a *split* and *contoured* keyboard.Unfortunately, #Kinesis 360 has a ridiculously high price. So glad I got a #Glove80 instead!
