@abacao Both! Got an Ergodox from MassDrop and soldered it together. Also purchased a Kinesis Advantage. The Kinesis is hard to beat from an ergonomic perspective. (Except the function keys are terrible.)
I haven't used the Ergodox in years now, but I got work to spring for a Kinesis Advantage so I have one at home and work.

@abacao I've never built my own keyboard, but mechanical and buckling spring keyboards are a massive improvement over the regular crummy keyboards that come with desktops. It's difficult to explain, but it's just nicer for your hands, see if you can get an inexpensive keyboard from your local electronics outlet or online retailer
