Review of the MoErgo Glove80 Keyboard

Looks so awesome. So many of these really nice looking Kinesis Advantage looking keyboards tend towards columnar layouts, not staggered, and that's run me aground both times I've tried it. :/ I'm envious though!

It took me a couple weeks to get up to speed on my ortholinear keyboard (Keyboardio Model 100), but it really is worth it to stick with it! It makes a lot more sense ergonomically.

I have an Atreus and it has almost completely spoilt me for anything else. I tried the Model 100 but I just don't get on with it. For some reason it just makes my hands tired. Not impossible that I need different switches for it.

What I want right now is a wireless, split Atreus - precisely the same layout, just in two halves, and with no wires.

It strikes me as odd that such a thing doesn't seem to exist. I can find plenty that are "that, plus/minus a row", "that, plus a column", "close, but ortholinear" but nothing that precisely targets what seems to me to be quite an obvious gap in the market.

Maybe I'll end up building one myself...

I owned couple of those novelty keyboards and ultimately forfeited all of them for the weird reason: latency. I didn't know it was latency at first. It just like keyboard is faulty, it's losing keys, or producing more than it should.

But then I stumbled upon (I believe) article about keyboard latency[1] and it all started to make sense. I switched to native keyboards and never looked back.

In case you're wondering what's my typing speed - I was wondering too and finished some random web based typing test which told me I'm peaking at 160WPM.

What is a "native keyboard"?
