My currently daily driver. The Atreus by Keyboardio.
  • I prefer fully split keyboards overall, but every time I go back to using my Atreus I'm reminded what a nice keyboard it is, and how lovely it feels to type on it. Those guys know what they're doing.

  • Worried I wasted money on my new Moonlander, will I ruin my muscle memory?
  • Just keep at it. I took me a couple weeks and then I was at the point where I could easily switch back and forth. But I had the same thing where after the first few weeks of using ortho, I had some issues going back. But they went away pretty quickly. For a little while I kept trying to switch back and forth each day, but not sure if that helped. These days I'm mostly moonlander, but when I'm traveling or on a plane, I may just us the laptop and my brain/fingers just know what to do.

    So, basically, keep at it and you'll be fine.

  • How easy is it to go back to using staggered keyboards?
  • This was also my concern. When I first got an ortho, I spent 3 days 30 minutes each training how to use the ortho and then it just clicked. Then, I used only ortho for a couple days, then went back and forth between ortho and staggered for a few days. And... now I can switch back and forth with ease. It's surprisingly natural. There is a slight learning curve at first, and then it's easy.

  • Wanting to move from conventional to ergo mech. Am overwhelmed. Send help.
  • Yeah, I get it. I say the same thing about boards with no number keys and people tell me I can just use layers. But for whatever reason, layers for function keys makes more sense to me. It's just like pressing "shift" except instead of "shift" you press a different button and the number/function key.

  • I have a Moonlander and find it works well for me. Took a little while to get used to, but really not long, and the longer I used it, the more I liked it. Not sure what you mean that it doesn't have many keys, as it has way more than a lot of ergo keyboards?

  • Wireless Ergolite...
  • Gateron low profile switches... which seem (slightly) better than chocs for low profile switches. Also, I think that the Gateron low profile switches work fine in MX hotswap sockets.

  • Wireless Ergolite...

    ! Testing out Lemmy, but also posting the wireless Ergolite I just got setup, using some off the shelf laptop risers as a simple tenting kit. Works... surprisingly well. Though the furthest thumb key on both halves doesn't seem to work...
