Thanks for this interesting video. One question : would you share a website where I could find the special compatible keycaps for macOS, or a decent replacement ? I don’t mind a little fantasy, but it really bugs me that ZSA doesn’t include some with the base package. That’d be great.

My smol 15cm hands seem to like the thumb cluster at least when dry typing (I don't own the keyboard.)

I wonder how you use it with a mouse/tablet and the only left side layout. I’m a designer that loves to use keyboard shortcuts. Is it possible to use all the shortcuts on one side?

thank you for making revisit, i like that they actually heard you. Question: why turning on/off button so important, doesn't you turn it on once and forget for the months?

Do you have your dotfiles in their entirety posted anywhere?

get an ipad instead. I like the idea, but 600USD. puff!

it's terrible at tenting, but it gives a nice weight so the keyboard doesnt move anymore

One thing to consider, if you break the usbc port, unsoldering the controller is an absolute pain. Got 2 of these kits at home. Waiting for my last list and pin row to make the controller removable.

First of all, I'm super grateful that you made this video short without a lot of time-wasting rambling, so thanks for that. But its funny because I recognized the book you have in the background about responsive web design, and I wondered why you had it on the wall. I'm actually going through that book right now to polish up and get a better understanding of the front-end side of things. I looked at the name of the channel and realized that you are the author of the book I'm reading! Just a funny coincidence I wasn't expecting.

Does anyone know how to add special characters such as á, é, í, ó, and ú to the special keys (1-4) or to make the vowels automatically become accented if I hold the key for longer?

Can't you use solder wick instead ? also you really should use flux when soldering. as they say the difference between a pro and amateur solder is flux. I am not familiar with the guy you mentioned where you learn how to solder but if he doesn't use solder wick nor flux I don't think you should recommend him at all. also... the keycaps with legends are also made of PBT.

no keyboard should be that expensive, people must be crazy to spend that much

Love it. Straight to the point: home row mods are a pain to implement. Thanks for saving me the time and money, Ben!

Since you asked the question about other products to consider reviewing, how about virtual desktop spaces, I e. VR headset that project "bigger" screens in front of your eyes and perhaps how these great keyboards might fit in that realm.

I <3 your great methodical and objective content. They are helping me to decide on which keyboard to upgrade to, I'm close to only having to figure out the budget for one.

I've now watched a couple of your videos, they have been greatly informative. You have more than earned that subscription. Kudos!

Ben, thanks for the video. I switched to Glove80 from a regular Keychron K2. So ortholinear and column stagger all at once, took me a few weeks to get used to. And to get up to speed with where I was with regards to typing speed. That said, Glove80 has been a joy to use. Your video was one of the main reasons for my buying decision. I actually got it as a 2nd hand purchase (someone who ordered didn't want it anymore and was selling it). Thus, it doesn't have choc whites and have pro reds. I'm divided about desoldering pro reds and putting choc whites. As a comparison, I finally settled on kailh box whites on my Keychron after experimenting quite a bit (with Gateron browns, Cherry MX blues and kailh mints). I do really like the kailh box whites and would like to have a similar experience on the Glove (with kailh choc whites) How would you rate having to desolder pro reds on Glove 80 and putting kailh chok whites in yourself?. As someone who did that for your Advantage 360 once (yes, I did watch that video), what would be your general recommendation?

Can you use just the left side by itself without the right side even being plugged in?

its all cool but that switch sound is awful... eww brother ewww

So I just ordered one tonight. Not going to lie, I am pretty nervous, coming from my GMMK Pro that I have had for the last little while, but I really am excited to see what its going to be like typing on my first split ergo board. I was so torn between this and the Glove80. I had both of them in a cart at one point ready to hit buy, but for me, not having hotswap was the major deal breaker and I really really just fell in love with the look of the voyager and the flatness of it. I also game on my stream and seen that the keywell of the Glove80 didn't really lend itself well to using WASD properly. As a software dev, I am really hoping this helps me at work too to speed up coding and being able to use modifiers a lot easier. Thanks so much for the videos, I relied on them heavily to make my decision!

Instead of cfdo, why not bufdo?

Greetings from Scotland mate. That was an exceptionally candid and thorough review of a “product” (right word?) I’ve been really interested in for quite some time. The DIY approach really makes me shy away but thanks so much for pointing us in the direction of some other ergonomic keebs. Definitely gonna take a look at getting my hands on a Moonlander based on what you said! Have you ever gone back to your Dactyl? And have you got any similar opinions for ergonomic mice? The whole ergonomics discussion is a really interesting one and particularly for someone in your line of work I expect.

sounds ass

check out kanagawa, it really looks comfy to my eyes

rgb layr+/-bluetooth layer media +/- nav layer function(f24) layr +/- number layer mouse layer +/- special symbol layr macro layer? if shell is enabled...may be anotehr layer... cant have these many layers if you are handling like 10 programs at one... so it is always more keys...end of discussions

Awesome review, thanks. Can you try looking in to the new keyboard from Dygma that is named Defy ?

No offense but if you didn't touch type before you switched to a new keyboard layout your experience is kind of irrelevant. It's apples and oranges.

Over the last year i bought a kinesis advantage 360, then a Glove80, and then a corne 42 prebuild. I am going to stick with my Corne and try to sell the other ones. The only flaw I can really sense is that the P and Q buttons are not as comfortable to hit as the Glove80, for example, but in general I feel more comfortable and faster with fewer keys. It is probably muscle memory because I only use these keyboards for work and then I am on a normal keyboard gaming all night. I appreciate the small form factor of the corne because it eats up significantly less space on my desk, and feels more similar to a normal keyboard. Using a layer for special characters and stuff is more natural since the keys are not in physically "weird" locations (offset, different shapes, up higher etc).

why your cursor is so fast and smooth?

Thank you really enjoyed this video!

Telescope is great, but it sucks compared to fzf-lua

As SOON as I heard that you pulled the copper out I knew exactly how you fixed it lol. I built a keyboard for a friend and managed to overheat one of the copper leads so much that it actually detached from the board. I had to do almost exactly what you did, but I had a bit of spare braided wire lol. Good on ya for thinkin on your feet though hahaha

These sound sooo aweful like cheap plastic sound.

what's the plugin to get the cursive font for the function keywords and comments?

Great video. I also switched to fzf-lua recently in pursuit of a more coherent experience with my shell. One of the cool things about fzf-lua is that your FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS and FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND are honoured within neovim. So if you are using an fzf colour theme or use a particular program for file searching via fzf, all of that will carry over, and I find that it brings everything together very nicely.

I use fzf-lua for live-grep and git status and pretty much Telescope for everything else. Initially I also switched entirely to fzf-lua but then started noticing a slight delay when triggering the commands as compared to telescope specially those with previews. Is there any particular reason I you switched to fzf-lua entirely?

who travels with their keyboard?

Excellent review, just what I needed from a dev's point of view. One question, do you miss the curve from the 40" compared to this one? I thought anything bigger than 27" should have a curve. I had a 29" flat LG wide monitor and I returned it because looking at the code/text in the corner was weird and I found myself dragging everything to the center.

Did know that, will try it out! Thanks. Which theme btw?

I agree and don't like the location of thumbs for many of the smaller keyboard. I rarely use the bottom row outer modifiers on my preferred board, the Reviung41. I relegate the control, alt, and enter to them. Also use tab (on both sides) for my layer 1 instead of using the bottom row. Navigation is so important as I use them more than 60% of my standard letters. I played with putting them on my base layer on the ;./, but also looked for smaller keyboards that had dedicated arrows. I also use lighter switches for my nav layer key. The 40% movement is all about removing what you don't need and keeping what you do. There are quite a few keyboards out there that are in the 40's camp. I'm very happy programming on a little keyboard, but agreed - different things work for different people. Great job giving it an honest effort and thanks for posting about it.

Ohhh man ! That keycap looks amazing!

With either small keyboard, you could try getting a second keyboard that is just a number pad or arrow pad.

A year ago I was using a moonlander, and went down bit by bit to about 44 keys. Then I switched to a sofle choc, to get the short stroke mechanical switches, but I realized I didn't need the outer column or the number row. Now I have a 36 key Corne 5x3+3, but I want a pinky column that's more aggressively staggered. I ordered a ferris sweep 5x3+2 kit, which should arrive by the end of the month.

it is such a shame that this expensive keyboard dont even have the 2.4Ghz wifi connection avaliable. =(

Thank you! I rarely comment on anything, but you just saved my sanity after hours of fighting with code. Subscribed!

Can you do mouse control? Or only muse button clicks?

I love Colemak-DH and the MBK keycaps. Unfortunately, it was just too much of a hassle when gaming so I had to go back to the far inferior QWERTY.

Arrow keys are definitely really hard to put under a layer. Shoot, whether in work or play, I use them ALL the time. I have a Dygma Defy and counter to what a lot of people seem to recommend, I have my arrow keys in one of the thumb clusters, for each layer. I just can't give them up.

Better Display app can probably fix that. Even if you have to clone the EDID of another monitor.

does anyone here in the comments have experience with this product and is also suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome?
