  • Until I finally complete the firmware for this mothership:...

    ...then I'll be on an(y) old full size keyboard - with INS and DEL and so on in their rightful places. And wireless, that's convenient.

    This is my current daily driver. Before that, I wore out a couple of these beauties:

    Oh, and Dvorak layout. Obviously.

  • ZSA Voyager for over a year now, and the other ZSA boards since about 2018.

    I've been really happy with it, and it helps me type fast. I do tend to slam the keys down sometimes but it's held up great. I was able to stop using a mouse- the key-driven mouse motion is intuitive enough for me.

    Took me a bit to get used to the reduced key layout, but it's actually turned out to be just enough. I see some people with even fewer keys! Will need to try that out sometime.

    Just running a base hardware configuration with Kalih Choc Brown switches and a custom layout that does not use any chording or timing-based layer switching, only holding.

    Would like to try building my own someday.

  • Keychron K3.

    It's low-profile (no twisted wrist!), wireless (Bluetooth), has RGB (though I have it set to white), small enough to drag to work, and with the Keychron Mint keys (there's also a Gateron version) - I've tried all their keys except brown because I never liked browns, ever. Black and red are too light - can't rest my fingers on them without accidentally press them. Blue and orange are too clicky for work, and Mint is what I ended up liking - they're like browns, but the click is way higher, which feels sooo comfy, instead of weirdly squishy.

    Been looking at the Kinesis 360 (?), but I can't find low-profile keys for it, and the available options are rather lacking for a 650 EUR keyboard (I kinda want the wireless one).

  • Odin75 with HMX Macchiato switches. No exotic layouts or anything, just a good board

  • I use 2 keyboards primarily.

    • SliceMK ErgoDox Lite - I daily drive this keyboard in particular at home. I was surprised how much you can do with the configurator app. The developer is very active and responsive in his discord. Using the config tool I was able to reproduce all the same layers that my Moonlander has and the keyboard works just as well except that it's wireless.
    • ZSA Moonlander Mk 1 - I use this keyboard daily when working. It's packed with features and feels great to use. My only complaint has always been the 1U modifier keys. I got big hands and it's easy for me to slip up and miss modifiers. Other than that it's a fantastic keyboard and I'd daily drive it if those modifier keys were longer. The Oryx configurator app is really fluid. I like that it's integrated with GitHub for version control of your keyboard firmware. Also really cool that you can turn this keyboard into a mini midi controller
