I hope I didn't come across as a dick. I am serious, that is a great looking setup. I've been using a split mechanical keyboard for so many years that even normal keyboards feel cramped to me. I have friends that also praise the 60% keyboards, but they are just not for me.
I have a Voyager split keyboard waiting in the mailbox for me today! Last time I used a Moonlander split key, I had to return it because the layout was too big for my hands. Not sure if the Voyager's going to be an improvement... will share and see if I need to return it.
At work, I use a Kinesis split keyboard that's more or less standard sized.
In other words, no worries, split keyboards rule :)
I've gone through a few split keyboards. I actually have a Moonlander now. After reading multiple complaints about it being too big for a lot of people, I figured I would try it out. I don't think I have big hands, but I guess I must. I hope the Voyager works for you.
Ah, that's cool! My Planck is from the same Taiwanese company. I love these guys. Quality stuff. The main problem I had with the Moonlander was that my thumbs actually don't reach that far and it was causing quite the strain. I also couldn't quite reach the top numerical rows without strain. So maybe that's why this 40% is working so well for me. Glad that you're enjoying your Moonlander!
