Was not aware of this product when I was originally looking for a new mech split keyboard.

I did stumble upon the Moonlander [0] but couldn't justify the price point.

Further looking brought me to the Koolertron split keyboard which so far I've been liking for a small "cloffice" used during the lockdowns. I even did a full write up here of what I thought: https://twitter.com/alexpotato/status/1350530940561457155

I've been using it since 2 weeks now. It's a great keyboard. I was using the redox-wireless before this which is also really good and quite a bit cheaper. but the moonlander helps with my RSI and CTS more than the redox did. Got the white moonlander and a white trackball going now. Great for ergonomics and lessening the strain.

If you can spend the money on it I highly recommend it. If not you can try looking into self-building a redox (I'd recommend non-wireless as the wireless has some quirks atleast mine from falbatech does, falbatech has nice tenting and bamboo casings for split keyboards. You can buy separate parts and kits or buy them pre-built.


Typing on it now. It's nice. Justified it as the last keyboard I'll ever need due to it's customizability. That it can replace a mouse by using modifier keys is a giant boon.

Swapped the pinky keys to ones with lighter springs and that is a great ergo boost.
