Moonlander Keyboard (Mechanical) (Ergonomic) (Split) (Ortholinear)

Bought the Moonlander mechanical keyboard. Cherry Brown MX switches. Arms and wrists have been hurting enough that it’s time I did something about it.

Picked this vs. others because of the wristpad, ortholinear keys, and the command key placement. Excited to re-learn how to type :stuck_out_tongue:

I get to re-learn how to type. :laughing:

Overall impression is favorable. The MX Browns are not as loud as I expected. It feels like a great keyboard!

I’ll keep the Planck for when office days return. Right now I’m 100% remote. The Moonlander is to big to carry around, I guess.

But even though I still need to get used to the layout, I’m already loving it.
