Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it looks weird, yes they've spent millions on researching optimum keyboard layout to reduce RSI, but my goodness, once you get over the 'eugh' of using it from muscle memory, I can guarantee it will be worth the cost. I love mine and there's a huge hacker community for it who modify it further.

I've been considering it, the only issue for me is that it seems to take a lot of space. Have you tried something like the Sofle? Curious to hear about people who used both

Glove 80 is similar but less bulky.

Indeed, but seems maybe less durable? How long have you had yours?

Too poor to afford them. But it seems really really cool. So I have seen every article and yt videos about them.

I've read a few comments that the build quality can be a bit subpar for the price

It would never be as strong as kenisis. You can kill a guy with kenisis. But its not 3D printed and it's quite good if compared to other enthusiasts keyboards, from what I have gathered.

It's flat, it's going to be far inferior to the kinesis advantage.
