Got my Glove80 yesterday 🎉. Still too early for a proper review, but loving it so far. The transition from a Kinesis Advantage is straightforward , the pinky columns feel easier to reach which is a definite improvement.

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

How are you getting on with the lower profile switches?
I've used an advantage 2 for a year and recently built a hand wired dactyl which I've enjoyed using but I'm wondering if the lower profile switches help with speed or accuracy at all?
I'm a heavy typer and I bottom out the keys, which is probably quite inefficient! I've got linear MX switches on both.
Would love a follow up once you've used it for a while.
So far so good. I accept that I'll probably bottom-out more than on the KA2's Cherry Browns due to less travel after actuation, but since the switches are fairly light anyway it's probably not a big issue.
I'll probably post a review after a few months of experience.
