Well, according to monkeytype https://monkeytype.com/ if i take the time to correct typing errors (like you would in real life), switching to the #Glove80 has dropped me to ~76 wpm from ~100

The keys are closer together and my fingers are still reaching for the old locations. But considering I've only used it for like half a day total, I'm pretty happy. :D

My #MoErgo #Glove80 came today. I instantly replaced the wired kinesis that I was using as a backup, swapped _most_ of the keys for black ones, and started generating a custom keymap.

EVERYTHING about the process was nicer than the #Kinesis #Advantage360 pro.

Now that I’ve got my custom keymap set up switching to it is surprisingly painless. AND I have more keys so i don't have to do stupid stuff with the escape key.

Although, it doesn't come with a capslock key cap which is...weird.

Since February or so, I have been typing exclusively on my #Glove80, a split #ContouredKeyboard. So comfortable, I'll never go back to flat or non-split keyboards again!

#Glove80, a split #ContouredKeyboard with low-profile keys. Got it 5 months ago.

Previously, I used a #KinesisAdvantage for 14 years.

#ErgonomicKeyboards FTW

Finally, there's an extensive review of my favorite #ErgonomicKeyboard, the MoErgo #Glove80 on RTINGS.com:

It scored 8.7 for office

@glove80community

Happy with the #glove80 with sunset switches.

@akareilly @drahardja Slightly off topic: the "make better ergonomic keyboards" idea was taken care of recently with #Glove80 - reports say it works for a larger variety of hand sizes than previous models. See my post for more info: https://nerdculture.de/@tynstar/109845607828224996

I got my #glove80 today and now have to learn how to type all over again. :)
#keyboards

Ordered a #glove80 keyboard for myself. I was on the edge to get a Kinesis Advantage360, but for my current setup it’s probably too high.

I build my first split keyboard 10 years ago (ergodox) but switched back to a normal keyboard after discovering Topre 🙈

@TheSecondVariation @glove80community@a.gup.pe
The website is a bit misleading, unfortunately. In fact #Glove80 batch 2 is currently being manufactured! The last I heard (a week ago or so) they estimated to complete that by end of April.

If you make a reservation for 25 USD, they will notify you when it's available and then you have 14 days to make the remaining payment.

@TheSecondVariation
Definitely! There are many #Linux users on the #MoErgo Discord community.

#Glove80 doesn't use special drivers or dongles, it's just USB HID spec compliant over either USB or BLE.

If you're wondering about how configuring the keymap works: there's a vendor-hosted webapp which spits out the firmware file. Installing that is just like putting the file on a USB stick. (Alternatively, you can build the #ZMK-based firmware yourself.)

Tipp für alle die sich für ergonomische #Tastatur|en interessieren: ich war kürzlich bei einer Spezialausgabe des deutschen Tastatur-Podcasts @ClickClackHack zu Gast & durfte viele Fragen zur #Glove80 beantworten (Anteil locker ⅔ der 2,5 Stunden).

Link zum Anhören siehe https://podcasts.social/@ClickClackHack/110176480365558581, Shownotes mit Links siehe https://www.clickclackhack.de/062.html

Viel Spaß!

Übrigens: Fragen beantworte ich gerne auch auf Deutsch (meine anderen Toots dazu sind ja Englisch).

Another #Glove80 review: »In a word, excellent 💯«

- »(…) the finger-specific curves for each column of keys makes it really easy to reach the bottom row and the number row and even several of the function keys without moving my hand. This goes for the thumb keys too, due to the fact they're laid out in an arc.«

- The detachable palm rest is »quite nice and adds to the comfort of the keyboard.«

"Finding comfort: A review of the #Glove80 keyboard"

- »I believe it has accomplished the designer's goal of creating a keyboard that works better than any other for as many people as possible.«
- The palm rests »ensure a natural, relaxed wrist posture and help stabilize your hand while typing.«
- »The thumb clusters are good, offering a much better experience than using your pinkies for modifier keys.«

@masukomi @ConorMahood
After 6 weeks of using it exclusively both @ home and @ work, I can say that for me the typing experience is vastly superior. It just fits my fingers better!

One thing that makes this particularly obvious: on my #KinesisAdvantage, after 15 years of use I still frequently mistyped the ` and \ keys (bottom row for left hand pinky and ring finger). But after only a week of adapting to #Glove80, I no longer mistype those keys at all.

#ErgonomicKeyboard @glove80community

I think this is easily the coolest picture of the new #Glove80 #ErgonomicKeyboard that I have seen so far. (And being active on the vendor's Discord, I have seen many.)

Oh, and I like that in addition to his helmet, #DarthVader wears a proper mask because he knows #CovidIsNotOver.

re wifey's new keyboard https://mstdn.social/@dachary/110109970351668031

While we can debate aesthetics, build quality, and thumb keys, there is absolutely zero doubt that the Mo Ergo #Glove80 kicks the ass of the #Kinesis #Advantage380 in the technology department.

My #Glove80 is currently set to about 13° of added tenting, but there's some amount of tenting inherent in the design already.

Feels quite comfortable!

Also, I'm happy that this keyboard can not only tent way higher, but also has a flexible tenting mechanism: simple threaded M4 rods that you can extend by "unscrewing" or, as in my case, replace with longer ones (included in the kit). Could also use even longer ones bought elsewhere.
