Yes, and it’s where I started. I got a few super nice keyboards with with switches and how swappable switches and they all have chatter/bouncing issues. I somehow tricked myself into thinking I liked stiffer switches or spherical cut key caps. Done cut, TKL, with Cherry MX Brown the the best for me. I just wish my control key wasn’t sticky (spilled something on it ages age). WASD Code V2 is my board.
Yes. My AHEK-95 is everything I’ve ever wanted in a keyboard.
- Analog Hall Effect (95 keys)
- Customizable force curves
- Waterproof/washable in the sink
- Smooth-as-silk 3D printed switches that cost $0.04/each
- Entire top plate is hot swappable
- The brightest RGB LED keyboard ever made with incredible lighting effects (it can play bank videos!)
- 8 knob-selectible layouts
- Buzzer for being loud when I want it to be because why not
- Infrared sensor so I can sit back and control my media from far away
- Custom, 3D printed keycaps with awesome (and hilarious) legends
- Oreo cookie holder: https://imgur.com/a/wtzsVSR

If I can ever figure out how to program this damn macropad I bought a year ago yea, maybe.
Not yet, I’m working up the courage to start what will be my endgame.
I currently use an Ergodox with Kailh Speed Copper switches on my personal computer and an Atreus62 with Kailh thick click navy switches on my work computer.
Endgame for me is a BFO-9000 in a custom built wooden case. Switch type TBD.
I like my Voyager so far but since it requires online connectivity to flash the board even though it’s fucking running QMK, I’ll probably make my own based off the Voyager and release it under an AGPL-3.0 and CC-BY-SA license.
The keyboard’s physically nice but their software is fucking ass.
You can use Keymapp which is a local application for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
What do you mean it’s online only?
Keymapp is ZSA’s garbage app I was referring to.
It can’t be used to flash boards offline.
If you have a Moonlander or Voyager you can test this by temporarily disabling wifi/ethernet. Keymapp won’t allow you to flash the board which is silly as internet is totally unnecessary for this operation as you already have the layout on your local storage, the app, and the board.
That’s why I see ZSA’s products as proprietary hardware.
For anyone reading my comment please don’t misunderstand. I love my Voyager to bits but at the same time I hate that it’s basically proprietary by default instead of being the ultimate fully open-source split keyboard that it could have been (like Framework’s laptops).
As such I won’t go back to using anyother mechanical/splitortho until I can either build my own using the Voyager as a launching point or someone else makes my dream open source splitortho ahead of me.
I forgot to mention but this is why I won’t buy anything from ZSA anymore nor will mention it to my friends as I also don’t want them to get screwed by this needless blockade.
Good to know!
Very happy at the moment with my Keychron Q11. I don’t feel the need to switch to ortholinear yet, maybe one day.
Model M. Will never move away. So, yes.
Until someone makes buckling springs for ðe home gamer. I want an M again badly, but not enough to give up ðe split, columnar layout. My wrists would never forgive me.
But if Kailh started making buckling springs, I’d be in heaven.
Don’t know how I could get better than my current hand wired, wireless, cherry reds, split ergo mech Scylla.
I bought a TKL massdrop ctrl with some 68g switches, added some POM keycaps because the stabilisers all started to snap on my polycarb/ABS caps, and haven’t felt the need to change anything else since
I bought a TX-CP with halo switches back in like 2017 or 2018 or something and I’ve been content ever since I put some GMK Penumbra caps on it. I have a weirdo keyboard with a knob I bought much later just sitting around (I think it was called an iron wolf?), but I haven’t assembled it yet.
I built my Iris V3 and haven’t even seriously considered an alternative.
It certainly isn’t perfect, for example I’m not crazy about it’s tilt/tent solution, but the ergonomics, switches (otemu silent sky), and layout have been close enough to perfect for my use case that the only keyboard I’d consider replacing it with would be a wireless Iris with better tilt/tent.
I got a Rainy75 because I loved the color :3 but turns out the switches are extremely satisfying. Works perfect for me for gaming, a thrill to type on as well. Singlehandedly converted me from clicky to linear switches. Quite inexpensive too surprisingly
Not yet. I’ve now decided I want a full size
I think so. Manuform Dactyl 4x6 with Gateron Brown. Being able to tilt it a bit more could be nice but it isn’t a huge deal.
Yes, I finally realised I’d spent too much fucking money on keebs
Which keyboard are you using right now?
