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.
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.
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’m on a journey to find the “one true keyboard” for me, as you can read about in parts 1 and 2 of my story I’ve linked above. One think that I really want is to be able to switch back to a normal keyboard when needed without difficulty. This means not only sticking with QWERTY, but having modifier keys in the usual places, to be mainly operated by my pinkie and ring fingers.
If the Ergodox is like the Moonlander (my current ride) in terms of column stagger, yeah, it’s about half of what it should be (for me anyway). IMHO the top of the “A” key should almost line up with the bottom of the “D” key (speaking QWERTY here).
From the pictures I’ve seen the stagger looks right on the Dygma Defy; but they use Kaleidoscope, the same firmware as the Model 100, and I want to keep the geeky stuff I’ve done in QMK, which I found hard to port.
