Ayy that was my post. I ended up going with the Moonlander and am trying out the Colemak-DH layout. Definitely not up to speed from my qwerty layout.

I do really enjoy it though and have been tinkering with different strategies like tap-dance and home row mods for modifier keys.

Ben Vallack has been a great resource in determining what's what in the ergo keyboard space.

What makes them the most entitled generation ever?

Seconding Lutz's point! I'm a pretty casual player so I tend to focus more on rolling dice for fun and interacting with NPCs. Other party members actually will attempt voices sometimes or have more integrated back stories with the actual places in the campaign. It's definitely what you make of it!

Not sure where to access it but Orca (whitepaper link) had caught my attention the other day due to its performance vs size.

Interesting take on the gaming aspect! I've decided to try out the Moonlander and gaming is my main task after programming (sometimes before lol). Hoping the customization software gets me around some of the issues with having the buttons too far away.

Interesting! I've dropped from the positive tilt that I had to flat/zero and liking it so far (could just be the change of pace though). Never thought of the negative tilt. Feel like I wouldn't be able to use the wrist/palm rest at all

Yeah the split seems more justifiable but tenting seems ergonomic too. Curious at to if you leverage extra thumb keys or dynamic switching of rows too. Seems like it has a learning curve but I like the idea of keeping closer to home row

Not much, probably a minor case of it if so. Trying to get ahead of it at least but also just like the thought of moving towards a more ergonomic setup

Thanks for the advice!

Looking for some testimonials on these setups as I'm due for a keyboard upgrade. I like the thought of spreading my arms a bit more and the external wrist rotation from the tenting. Any suggestions?
