Not a new board (made it in Jan?) but boy howdy was this a bad decision purely of my own making.

I was like, "yeah, let's go lopro for real!" At the same time, I decided to go with pinks, with the smallest amount of force required to clickity clack. Turns out that was a bad idea. My fingers are apparently small hammers and even the gentlest breeze will type on the board. It looks friggin beautiful, but oh my god is it hard to type on.

That said, I was on a 36 key split before this and looooved it, so adding the extra columns at the ends threw me for a big loop as well.

At least I have another pretty board to add to my display!

Oh! I feel like I'd cramp up with an index mouse, but that's neat!

I love my Ergo, honestly. The programmable buttons are really nice, and i like the horizonal scroll wheel leaning. Plus the angle is a lot more comfortable than their other ball mice.

What's really made a difference for me though is the precision mode button. It's upped my graphic design game in a major way! It honestly feels kind of like having a half-assed tablet as far as the more precise control goes! It's waaay easier to draw with, though if i were doing more freehand stuff (and could draw for shit) obviously a tablet would be better.
