I have been really tempted by the ergodox ez, but really wish it supported pedal input as that would make a "pedal layer" super easy access.

I do play the organ and drums and have been most of my life, so maybe that's why the idea of having additional keys available via pedals is right up my alley :)

Hey, I have an ergodox ez. I'm wondering what you mean by "pedal layer". Like pressing the pedal would move you to another layer?

The ergodox does precisly that and supports up to 32 layers.

that's what I mean, having a pedal connector on the keyboard where I could plug a pedal in and use it to switch to a different ergodox layer (which as of now I assume you do just via another key). The kinesis does have a pedal input, but I don't think the ergodox ez has it, or does it? the website does not say anything about it...

My bad. No the ergodox doesn't has this.

no worries, who knows, maybe in a future revision it might
