Hi all,

I’ve been typing on the first keyboard I ever bought for about 7 years now (Sharkoon Skiller Pro +) and, after trying out some of the shiny mechanical keyboards my friends bought over the years (Roccat Vulkan Pro, Steelseries Apex Pro, etc), decided I wanted a new keyboard as well.

I’ve done a little research on keyboards as a whole and have a few favorites, but recently I came across ergonomic keyboards, such as shown in this community. Now, I’m unsure wether I want to go with a traditional board (my top candidate is the Meletix Zoom98 with Morandi Switches) or try something completely different.

I’m looking for stories and advice right now, to get the most out of the money i’m willing to spend on a keyboard (buying multiple is not an option at the price point of for example the Zoom98).

Looking forward to this :)

    That’s neat.
    I’ve built a Sweep and a Fifi, which were very nice, but I found them too limiting. Especially for gaming.
    Maybe with enough time it would’ve worked, I’ve seen people with some crazy layouts specifically optimized to their workflow. But the Glove80 also ended up being more comfortable so I’ll be sticking to it.

    Next stage for me would be adding a pointing device to the keyboard and then I’m set.
