  • Didn't mean to mark it as 18... I'll see if I can fix it.

    You're right: Layers are essential. I use three primary layers -- colemak dh, numpad, and nav -- along with several combos. Another key feature is what are called Callum-style mods, which are essentially "sticky", one-shot modifiers.

    I've been using this layout for quite awhile now, so I'm pretty used to it. It took a month or so to switch from qwerty to colemak, but the switch to ortholinear (like this one) and column-staggered took under a week. Switching to home-row mods took a day, and switching from those to Callum took about a week.

    This board is so comfy to use. If I'm not at my desk, this is the board I use.

    Updated my planck a few months back, but thought I'd reshare here.

    What is your recommendation for a Split Ergo Keyboard?
  • In general, I see more negative Moonlander reviews than positive -- largely due to hand size (as others have noted).

    I'd recommend starting off cheap: Get a couple of cheap PCBs, a soldering iron, and some bumpons. See what you like with your own money before using your work money.

  • Good layout for 58ish keys? (Eg sofle, Lily, Iris) specifically for coding
  • As others have mentioned, it's very much personal preference. I program with 34 keys every day with three primary layers: colemak dh, numpad, and nav. After having used Miryoku for almost two years, I've been using Callum-style mods for the past several months, and I really, really like it.

    I'd recommend taking a look at keymaps in the QMK repo -- especially for layouts similar to the board you're using. You could also search github for zmk-config repos. It's a different firmware, but layout is layout.

  • Worried I wasted money on my new Moonlander, will I ruin my muscle memory?
  • You can if you keep it up. I regularly switch between several physical layouts, and it's not a problem if the keymap is the same.

    I can still use my laptop keyboard, but it's annoying without the keymap efficiencies. But I do have Colemak DH installed as a layout. I haven't really kept up with qwerty, but I can do it if needed (I'm using it on my phone).

    My solution was to switch to smaller, wireless boards that sit on a "bridge" over my laptop keyboard.

  • Subscribed after today's headlines about Reddit's mods for this sub being booted.
  • The fact that massive protests don’t work proves it matters to everyone involved. QED.

    This logic assumes logical thinking. While I think you're right -- there's some factor at play that has not been publicized -- this could still be nothing more than an ego trip.

  • A message from /r/ErgoMechKeyboards
  • I feel the same way. Very much appreciate everything you've done (and I hope Jane is doing better -- unrelated I know, but she's fantastic, too)

    My only hesitation is that I'd heard that most of the available replacements have become havens of ... misinformation.
