Raimo (he/him)

Which QWERTZ/QWERTY ergonomical keyboard do I want? Split is ok.

My most used shortcuts are speakers-off,mic-mute, F2 and switch input layout. I'm not interested in dvorak.

Without going down the rabbit hole of custom mech keyboards, the Cherry KC 4500 sounds like a good default right now.

I have been using a Nature for almost 10 years now.
No fluff, solidly built. Only slightly tweaked by reprogramming a few keys.

@msdeibel thanks, never heard of them before! Not sure how I feel about the keys in that middle triangle, but otherwise they look simple and straightforward

@rradczewski @msdeibel The middle Enter and Backspace keys are what I miss most, when typing on a conventional keyboard.

@rradczewski Seconding @msdeibel. I’ve been using an X-Bows for a long time, changed to a Crystal a few years ago, mostly because it uses standard keycaps and I could swap to the switches I wanted.

@rradczewski I like my ZSA Moonlander!

@samir Are you running a boring QWERTY layout on it? The Ergodox EZ is a nicely built keyboard, I'm sure the moonlander would be too.

@rradczewski Pretty much. You can see my layout here:

@rradczewski I don't have extensive experience with mech keyboards, but I love my #Keychron Q13 with the wooden wrist rest. It's Alice layout.

I've been having my eye on a keyboard.io model 100 for a while too...
