Overwhelmed by options of ergo keyboards. Please send help. (lemmy.ca)

I've been wanting to try an ergo split keyboard but there are so many options.

The 3 I checked are Kinesis 360 (https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/advantage360/), Glove80 (https://www.moergo.com/collections/glove80-keyboards) and the Moonlander (https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/).

These below are what I got from watching reviews:

Kinesis is difficult to customize and sometimes has connectivity issues
Glove80 feels cheap
Moonlander doesn't have many keys

Considering the prices, the moonlander is about US$100 cheaper than the others, so feels like a better option.

I am interested in options with keywell, as they feel way more comfortable, but anything will be better since I use a usual non-split keyboard.

What are your opinions/suggestions/experience with these types of keyboards?

Hi, there is a community just for Ergo Mech over at lemmy.world - ErgoMechKeyboards

Thanks! I tried to find one yesterday but the result was empty.

I'll check that one.

For whatever reason, the "c" in that link needed to be switched with "m" for it to work: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

Guess it's kbin.social that uses /m for communities - for lemmy servers I belive it's /c

Yeah, if it's on a Kbin instance they're called magazines, not communities. Honestly I find Kbin weird because it tries to mix two different organization styles, but whatever. So, for that user it uses an m even though it's originally a Lemmy instance.
