I have a Piantor, advantage360 (wired), and a Digma Defy, the defy is by fare the best...super build quality, great software, awesome thumb cluster, and the right number of keys....with too few keys, the flow of typing gets disturbed by having to constantly switch layers...
Your wrists should never be touching your keyboard or table. They should be hovering when typing. It is super unhealthy and poor typing posture to do this. Pianists learn this early on.
Was hoping UHK v2 was in the list but great video none the less! I think I’ll choose the uhk as my first split keyboard which i can convert back to a normal one if i don’t like the split
Two things I never understood: 1. More than 3 keys on a thumb cluster, is an advantage - never got this. I just can't understand how you comftably reach all the keys on the thumb cluster. 2. Wrist pads - how is that argonomic? This seems like making a bad habit more comfortable. Your hands should never be rested on the table nor on the keyboard. Since this puts a lot of strain on your wrists.
On the Kinesis Form, are the space bars different inputs or mapped to the same on in the operating system? In other words, in MacOs or Linus can you map one space bar to do something else?
I just recently made the switch to the glove80 as well for the shorter travel switches. I went with the one with the light actuation cherry blossom switches to maximize reduction in actuation travel/pressure needed. and have found it helpful though there's a learning curve to not stab excessively at a switch and hit its neighbor.
I know the 360 Pro uses the ZMK firmware which opens up to open-source GUIs. Would you happen to know if Advantage 360 also uses an open-source firmware?
Definitely give the Dygma Defy a try. As someone who prefers a clutter free desktop, having a wireless keyboard is a must and the Defy is the only one that offers both Bluetooth and low latency RF
I keep wondering if there are even developers who spent between 100$ and 1000$ on keyboards. It's either 20$ membrane 100% wide keeb being used for eternity. Or owning multiple 400+$ split boards because each one was a little better than the previous one. Just by logic there would need to be a person being between those two levels, but I have not witnessed one yet. Maybe it's quantum keyboard mechanics.
your above average tech bro!

For me the UHK v2 has been proven to be the best option. Is it perfect? No, but closest IMO.
@@nickgoogle4525 the dygma raise 2 is just around the corner, i will wait for its launch and some reviews. Deciding between those two
I've become a huge fan of the Keebio Iris and the Lily58 these last 4 years. 100% agree that split ergos are the way to go!

have u heard of the glove80? i like it better than the kinesis360
i've heard of it but haven't tried it out myself! very curious to try it out though
@@YourAverageTechBro I don't know what 360 Pro did wrong, but the Bluetooth on Glove80 is near flawless.

Thanks so much this is the video I needed. PrimeAgen had the same issues with the fully Bluetooth model and he prefers the wired version too.
oh i had no idea, glad to hear i'm not the only one who had issues with it. fully wired all the way for sure

exactlyyyy what i need! thanks!!!
Happy to help!
Svalboard - it might look insane, but it’s the real deal
You are just at one step to end your keyboard journey, glove80 with red pro
HI Thomas do you need a editor as i recently watched your some of the video and they are not well edited
why not build one?
eh, not thattttt into keyboards
I have the microsoft sculpt one
nice! it's a classic
your english is impressing
i was born and raised in america lol
@@YourAverageTechBro It's a joke, bro. Love your videos! Looking forward to collaborating with you some day.
@@kbdcrafter much love ❤️❤️

I own one 400$ keyboard and one 100$ boomer keyboard. Does that count?
this video made my knee grow
🤔
@@YourAverageTechBro knee grow SAY IT OUT LOUD. Good video btw
