Choosing the correct model of ortho split keyboard
Hi,
I use an Ergodox and I’d like to get a keyboard that would best fit my use case :
alpha keys without numbers nor side column modifier (3x5 matrix for each hand)
3 keys for each thumb
the inner thumb key should be compatible with a larger keycap
compatible with choc profile
pinky staggering more pronounced than the Ergodox (or the Corne)
I found the Chocofi that matches all of those criteria but I’m not expert, do you think there is something more suited ? Maybe a variation of the Piantor ?
I would also consider 3w6. It ticks all the boxes, and the halves connect via USB-C instead of TRRS. I know Beekeebs.com and Keycapsss.com sell them.
If you’re also interested in trying splayed columns the rae-dux is an excellent option. This keyboard does not offer a bigger keycap for the innermost thumb though.
