Discovered it yesterday in another thread.

This video looks amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aLmO97Y2Is

I had a look at the long-term review thread but couldn’t find any comment for this one, so maybe this thread will be more successful?

    No, but I’ve been to Svalbard. Very dark during winter, polar bears. Would visit again.

      Same, but in summer. The 24/7 nearly equal intensity daylight does a number on your internal clock and experience of time. 10/10 for wildlife though. Puffins everywhere. Plus whales, seals, walruses, and polar bears in the wild are such an impressive thing to see.

      I was thinking about it, it doesn’t feel to different than moving your right-hand index to the left or that pinky to the right on a standard keyboard.

      I agree that middle and ring fingers would probably need some adaptation time.

    $750 - $1,000 for the prebuilt? $400 for the DIY option?

    I know mechs are known for being expensive, but yikes. This looks cool and it seems like a novel idea, but it’s hard to rationalize that purchase when there’s Kenesis or Moonlanders selling at ~$400.

      It’s a very niche type of product.

      800€ for 10 years is 80€ a year. Can make sense depends how much time you spend using it.

    Have you seen the video about the thermoformable palm rests?
    That and the interchange-able input devices are pretty neat.

    It’s difficult to find reviews on it though. And in general finding people who’ve used it.
    I guess their Discord would be the best place for that.
    I’ve also seen a few reviews on Reddit.

    Remapping my brain<->fingers for multi key presses was crazy for me at the start on thumb clusters. Cannot imagine on this

    No, but I’ve used an Azeron for gaming for a bunch of years now. It’s great for gaming but I don’t think I would even recommend anything remotely close to actual typing.

    I had an opportunity to play with one for 10 minutes or so once, and my exposure was super limited, but it didn’t immediately feel like it was better than options that were only a few hundred bucks all in.

    Could show increasing value long term maybe and I wouldn’t say it’s a bad product but I couldn’t see enough to justify getting one with the other cheaper and potentially better options out there.
