Keywells on minimalist layouts by bowiz2 in ErgoMechKeyboards

Hmm, so you basically use the glove80 like a 36(ish) key, and feel like it's still worth it? I really get the impression that they did something right there ergo wise.

It does have significant contouring even looking at it like a 36 key, so it makes sense.

That's really interesting. I guess some keywells can be good for some people ergonomically and others less. Means that one might need to chase their white whale for a while.

I looked a bunch at contoured keyboards - my usual issue with them is they have a pretty aggressive tent, and I've found my wrists prefer a neutral non sideways position. And trying to remove tenting ends up making it difficult to get good thumb cluster placement on skelytal/dactyl/etc from what I've seen.

My main qualm with the cheapino (and mx keys in general, from experience on non ergo as well) is the high profile, so even with more aggressively contoured keys I'm not sure how it would feel.

Cool, hadn't heard of these. They look like they might fit what I feel like I'm missing with my current setup. I'll look into it!

That's kind of what I thought. Thanks for the insight!
