need some help picking out a keyboard

posted 1 year ago

Hi guys, I’m looking to switch from a Zoom65 EE to an ergo keyboard. I have a feeling a product with my needs doesn’t exist and I’d have to go custom…

split kb
wireless to PC (wireless between keyboard halves a plus but not necessary)
2.5ghz dongle would be sweet but not necessary
switch hotswap
led lighting (doesn’t have to be per key)
variable tenting
travel case?

I’m located in the US. My budget can go up to $350.

ErgoDox wireless from SliceMK (https://www.slicemk.com/pages/ergodox-wireless) is my suggestion. My current daily driver is a ErgoDox Wireless Lite – been using it for about 10 months now. The guy behind it (series of wireless ErgoDox variants) is very helpful with problems on his discord. He also has a webUI configurator that works reasonably well (which I don’t use because I prefer to keep my configs in git).

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn’t exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
