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

My kinesis setups as a long time user

Long time Kinesis fan here: I’ve been using the advantage for 15+ years. At home I have a 360 pro - one of the original first 500 run from the presale in 2022. I added a few macros to the ZMK firmware - and it has sat pretty much unchanged since. The Bluetooth is stable usually, but a PITA. As it ne

Just joined the crew. Rate my setup.

I'm not handy with the soldering iron. So I sent it off to someone who is, Upgrade Keyboards, which is an authorized partner with Kinesis. They sell customized Kinesis keyboards and are willing to work on aftermarket Kinesis keyboards. So I just bought a Kinesis Advantage 2 from eBay and then sent i

Found a Kinesis in a free bin on the street and I love it

I’ve been using the Kinesis Contoured (now Advantage 2) since 1994. It was a game changer for me. Finding one for free is insanely lucky. There are many mods/upgrades worth considering: replacing the keycaps (SA row 3), replace the controller, adding damping inside, and advanced: swapping switches (

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

Voyager vs. Moonlander?

I was making this decision recently, and while initially I was leaning towards the Moonlander, I eventually realized the voyager was the better option for me. I'm sure you've considered your personal pros and cons of each. For me, the overall benefits of the voyager won out, and I'm super happy with

Best ErgoMech for office environment

Cyboard Imprint, hands down. In your case, with some silent switches, so your fellow office workers won't burn you at the stake. Possibly preferably with the kind that doesn't use rubber component(s) to be quiet, so it won't have a mushy bottom out (unless you explicitly prefer that). So something l
