I'm thinking of switching to an #ergonomic split #keyboard from a normal one. I'm interested in the ZSA Moonlander and especially the Dygma Defy: https://dygma.com/pages/defy
I like the idea of tenting and a columnar layout, but I'm a bit scared to relearn everything 🤔 what do you use and what was your keyboard journey?
I was randomly browsing the #hashtag, when I found your #question @ChristianKrebel !
Wrote a post about it just yesterday

TL;DR
Arrived from
qwerty full size
to
Moonlander + Dvorak
and shockingly eliminated my wrist pain
What about you?
what choice have you made?
@frayoshi nice to read your story! You give me hope to do the jump as well, right now I still use a normal QWERTZ layout but I really want to try Colemak 😁 I do not have wrist pain yet but back pain and I take every improvement in my posture 😅
Last year I ordered a Dygma Defy because I like the product and a colleague got one as well, but it'll arrive in April 🫠
110 WPM is fast, faster than I type now, I'm fine with 50 - 70 WPM when I relearn to type 😂
beware @ChristianKrebel ..... that then you'll likely struggle to use again a qwertz #keyboard XD
Well, I went dvorak, very far from qwerty/z.... might be less pronounced the effect on a Colemak layout ^^
Still, expect to drop typing speeds, unless you constant swap one with the other
I kinda hope I went with a Voyager, feel the constant urge to bring the moonlander with me e.where XD the voyager is much more portable :)
@ChristianKrebel for #tenting, you can always build on them [as this person](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fan3y45x0emob1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D4032%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D55ab06258409c46726d9439c8e529123703f11ce) have!
The 'problem' of the #Moonlander, and also of the #Glove80, is that they take a good amount of space on the #backpack.. now, if that is a problem, only depends on you... but if #portability is on top of the list, the #Voyager can only be beaten by custom ones... ^^
The problem for me, is the only 2 thumb keys, I think 3 would have been perfect! #ZSA do you hear me? XD
