I’ve got one of these and while I’m impressed I think I will still likely go back a normal layout as I’m just not seeing speed and accuracy I’m happy with. Previous to this I have tried other split layouts, including the X-Bows which I think is just a disaster.

The Moonlander I really _want_ to get along with. It has an almost but not quite perfect setup for Emacs, for example, with natural places for Ctrl and Alt, and the software and configurability is excellent. I’ll likely give it a few more months but honestly if you haven’t got pain to deal with I don’t think these fancy layouts are useful, and even then I’m not sure my joints are any happier.

I just received my Moonlander a couple days ago, after using an Ergodox Ez for a year. It's a joy to use. It's slim, has a good palm rest, can tent, and having the thumb cluster take an angle when tenting the keyboard is a killer feature, it makes it much easier to reach all keys of the cluster without strain.

Only downside is the palm rest is huge, so you need a fair amount of desk space to use it.

Its column-staggered, not ortholinear.

I've had my Moonlander for about a week now. Would recommend if you're willing to spend that much on something like a keyboard.

I have this keyboard on the way either this month or next month. I am excited. It will be my first ergo and ortho board.
