Thoughts on Mechanical Keyboards and the ZSA Moonlander

I have a Kinesis Advantage 2. For me it is not about the switches, but the ergonomics. The thumb cluster is such a good quality of life feature, I don't understand why isn't mainstream. The thumbs are our strongest fingers and what we do with them? Hitting the same giant spacebar... It's just stupid

The thumb

I come from a Kinesis Advantage2 which has a ton of thumb keys and had the same experience as you with the Moonlander. On the contrary the two thumb keys on the Voyager are very well placed and I just need to worry and use two keys per thumb. The experience has been so good for the 9+ months I’ve ha

Trackball mouse?

20+ years ago I switched to a thumb trackball for pain in my arm and I love it. I made three changes all at once, so I am not 100% sure which one fixed what. I was having horrible pain where I thought I would have to switch to a new career. I made these changes.- Thumb trackball mouse (https://www.a

The most extreme curvature.

if you're looking for actual ergo inspiration on this sort of thing, check out the kinesis advantage 2, a commercially available, extremely effective ergo keyboard. I think at minimum you're going to want to move thumb keys down, even if you don't go the full thumb cluster route.

After years of RSI keyboards, designed my own split ergo - looking for feedback

I'm intrigued. I use a Kinesis Advantage 2 which fits me very well and am still looking for a more portable version. (Yes, I have carried it places. Yes, people think you're mad.) I tried the glove80 but the placements of the thumb keys suit me less well than on the Kinesis. And I would strongly pre

Travel keyboard for Advantage 360 user

The ErgoDox is based on the Kinesis Advantage layout. There are many unassembled kits available and a few ready-built offerings around. I’d go for a build kit where you can choose the switches, plates and cases. You could perhaps go for choc switches to have a thinner, lighter keeb. A completely bui

Silent keyboards aren't about just the keyswitches you select.

You seem to have the perfect keyboard collection! I'm a long time original Kinesis Advantage user. The board is super comfy, but I've come to realise that the thumb clusters aren't ideal. Too many keys, and some of them (the most central ones) are hard to reach with a stretch. Also, perhaps a little

60% Ortho Split KB Popularity

What I would recommend depends on the specific use case. Personally: None of the above. This is a chicken and egg problem. People go with whatever is available, which further reinforces what's on offer. It's actually wild to me that a list of "60% keyboards" has keyboards with barely 60 keys. Like,

Returning my Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro

I am relatively new to Kinesis. Had Advantage2 for about 2 years and just got a 360 Pro. Have zero issues typing on my laptop keyboard except some keys are in different places but I got used to the switch pretty quickly. Using Kinesis and normal laptop layout. Just makes me want to use the Kinesis m

People with ergonomic mechanical keyboards, how long did it take you to adjust?

It took me about a month, and it was pretty difficult, but it was totally worth it by a long shot. I never want to go back. Which one is it? Mine is the Kinesis Advantage 2, and it's phenomenal. Typing on that thing is effortless. And some of the keys are in really nice positions, like space bar and
