My Ergo-Mech Adventure (part 2)

Way back in August, I published part 1 of my adventures with ergo mech keyboards, about my Keebio FoldKB. Now I've finally got part 2 done.

As of now, I have two more split ergo keyboards to write about, but I don't know if I'll ever actually catch up ...

Man that thing looks sick. I love the idea of the tenting stand even if it does make it a tad tall.

Now I just need to keep telling myself I don't need another keeb.
- I'm planning to sell it "one of these days" ... If you want it (with my 3d printed stand included), we'd just have to agree on a fair price. It is too tall to be comfortable with that stand, though -- unless maybe you're on a standing desk you can have a bit lower to compensate.
  
  Do you mind me asking why youfre selling?
  
  The Model 100 is a KB I'd love to own one day simply because they're so pretty. But I also think they did a nice job with the key layout; the only thing stopping me is that I'd like a more aggressive stagger - I already have an Ergodox, and it's too tame.
  
  But, damn, that's a fine looking piece of kit. Keep me in mind when you offload it, and I may be able to throw my hat in.
I read this as "ero-mech" every time this sub pops on the main feed. You guys are honestly weirder than love bot makers, though. In a good way.

Edit: Or would an ero-mech be a giant powered sex assist suit since Erobots are love bots.
- My 100 tonne orgy class Atlas Eromech with twin large calibre autofleshlight arms, shoulder mounted LRD dildo launchers and ahegao faceplate.
  
  Hold on to your cloaca, godzilla.
Might want to give Glove80 a look. And since it sounds like you prefer light switches like me, there's a version with pro red switches (35g).
Maybe also hop in to MoErgo's Discord and get some ideas there.

I started with a Ferris Sweep (34 keys), and while I loved a lot of things about it, those weren't enough keys for me, I had to compromise too much + I realized a wireless split would be much more comfortable to me than a wired one.
Although I like having the option to use it wired.
- Yeah, the one type of keyboard I haven't tried yet is a dactyl-style curved one. The Glove80 has definitely caught my attention.
Bro, I have no idea what I'm even looking at but goddamn its pretty. You killed it.
Oh wow, using the encoder to switch virtual desktops is just... So sexy
Looks amazing! Love the wood grain.
