Zsa moonlander. It works, it’s ergonomic, and it can look nice if you turn off the rainbow lights.

Just got a 42-key LP corne (3×6+3) and loving it. Three thumb keys is really nice, and I don't like tap-hold shenanigans so the extra outer columns are good for modifiers (and I have tab/delete out there). Still very new to the split mech keyboard world so what do I know, but afaict 42-key is about as small as you can get without having to make some awkward compromises like home-row mods and tap dancing.

I LOVE my Kinesis 360 pro advantage wired edition. Idk, it beet the glove80 for me. Especially with my use of Sketchybar & Aerospace on Mac I just Alt + 1,2,3 hjkl etc and got the tiling system all down with my thumb and fingers. It’s glorious.

I very much enjoy 42-key with the corne formfactor. It is probably the smallest you can go without jumping through hoops on the firmware side to get things in a good place.

Charybdis. It has big thumb clusters, key wells, optional tenting, and an integrated track ball which is something to get used to, but it’s an absolute game changer. There’s variants with different numbers of keys. I’ve used a sweep and a totem in the past, but I found that with key wells reaching the additional keys (like the number row) still feels easy and comfortable, so I’m using the fully-keyed one.

The cheapest Surface Pro 3 keyboard on Amazon. It's many years old. It's peeling apart at the corners. The felt is discolored. I can't press certain key groups at the same time. It is slowly giving me arthritis.

Dygma Raise. The build quality is unparalleled, and I really like the company. They make an ortholinear model too.

I use a TOTEM 38-key, it's fairly close to a Ferris but has extra thumb keys and pinky keys, which I think is just enough to keep it useful and easy to set up layers as desired with minimal complexity, but still compact and easy to move around. I use a version of the firmware that uses a third microcontroller as a dongle, so my setup is wireless and can be positioned however I want without a cable mess, but still works on any computer at any time because it doesn't use a Bluetooth connection. I also like the key splay, it just fits my hand's resting position very well. Of course I also just use my laptop keyboard too. Using the TOTEM in Colemak-DH has made it easier to code-switch when using different keyboards, since my job requires that I can use any given computer effectively. Having a separate keyboard that feels totally different has helped my brain maintain the two layouts.

Glove80: nice helpful community community, good layout editor for changing functionality and ver nice ortholinear concave ergo. Negative is maybe that more extreme tenting is kinda hard to setup and maybe too many keys for me atleast (unnecessary for my layout/layering)

I'm currently using a Silakka54, and it’s been my main keyboard for the past five days. I really like it, it feels similar to a 60% layout, which is what I was using before. Still, I sometimes miss having a few extra keys. I’d love to have three more keys on the bottom row to make gaming easier, and maybe two additional keys for brackets near the home row in the center (like the ones the Corne keyboard has). Overall, it’s close to my perfect keyboard, and I’m really enjoying it.

I used a 42 key LP corne for a little over a year. I recently switched to use a keychron k2 HE (the one with the wood veneers) because it sounds good, looks like sex, and generally pretty enjoyable to type with

I use a corne36.Those two keys make a different at this size! What I do is I have toggleable modes for a few things though i.e. gaming by using a large combination of mods but I only press them once in a blue moon to switch. But then, most of the time I'm in the default mode except for some very basic punctuation where I've made it a very quick and easy mod + easy to access homerow key near the normal position so it has just become muscle memory.

Glove 80, comfortable and the thumb cluster keys ie space ctrl shift alt etc make everything more convenient, plus helps me a lot with wrist pain

Logitech MX Keys, it just works, it supports up to 3 different devices that you can switch to via a button press. So you can focus on the actual work and not on the equipment

Charybdis mini is hands down the best ergo keyboard I’ve used. Built in track ball’s thumb placement is perfect, I can use it all day without fatigue. Contoured key well and tenting, yet it fits in my bag and I bring to and from work every day. An extra column on both sides and one thumb button on the non-trackball side compared to the sweep. I use nvim, tmux and aerospace, but I’m also a full stack dev so having an accessible trackball is quite convenient. There’s no delay between typing and mouse movement.

I use the iris LM 3. Its my first ergonomic keyboard, but my third mechanical. I dont ever use the higher up thumb keys but it’s got a good layout and it’s pretty cheap too. I cant say that it’s the best, but it works for me.

What keyboard are you using? My ferris sweep I think is a little too small for practicality. If you want to see content about your keyboard, do your best to convince me that it's the best keyboard available.
