I'm confused. What's the problem?
We try our best. But, yeah, I don't really need "good" relationships with any company, and calling it like we see it has served us well all these years.
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 know of almost no ergo boards that have dedicated function keys. Moonlander does have number keys though... and you can use layers to turn those into function keys...
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?
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.
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...
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.
