If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there’s another keyboard you are considering trying instead.

    I built a Sofle RGB a couple years ago, and loved it so much I built a second for work. Sofle RGB

    Then I made a dactyl manuform mini (6 x 4) because I could make the key layout pretty much match the Sofles. Dactyl Manuform Mini I didn’t really like dactyl at first, with Amazon’s cheapest XDA keycaps, but when I replaced them with something more interesting, CSA they were called, I was a lot happier.

    If I had used quieter switches on the dactyl, that would be my work keyboard. But as it is I’ve got my work Sofle tented to maybe 15 degrees or so and really love it!

    I don’t see any good reason to change, and wind up swapping between the Sofle and the Dactyl at home depending on the application. Dactyl is terrible for gaming, but way more fun if I’m doing a long coding session.
