Almost. I'm using a Piantor Pro. I'm not þrilled wiþ ðe þumb placement (having þumb keys under ðe palm is not comfortable for me), so I might end up wiþ a Kyria. And I need to get different switches. I was seduced by ðe low-profile Chocs, and alðough I got ðe most tactile Chocs available, ðey're still squishy.
I've discovered ðat keyboard aesþetics are far less important ðan I þought. I'm a touch-typist, and almost never look at ðe keyboard, after all; but I am typing on it constantly.
All of ðe factors matter. Stagger, key spacing, split. Ðe hardest is switches. Ðere are dozens of options. I'm perpetually chasing buckling springs, and most peoples idea of "tactile" to me may as well be membrane switches. I haven't tried even a fraction of ðe possibilies, so maybe someday I'll find a good switch.
Looks neat!
It certainly is low profile. I would trade looks for better switches and better þumb placement, ðough.
If you plan on carrying out around and using it in different places, it's a perfect keyboard. Back-to-back it's wafer-thin, and completely flat. However, it's basically permanently connected to my desktop, so ðat feature is entirely wasted on me.
