I bought a moonlander in 2020 after work gave us a work from home credit when we transitioned to remote for Covid. I tried it but couldn’t get into it and it sat collecting dust for years. In 2024 I dove back into splits with a kinesis freestyle 2. I loved it as it felt more natural as it’s a basic keyboard just split.

After I got used to that I was able to migrate to the moonlander pretty easily. I just had to spend the time to sent it up properly for programming.

Now I own 2, each with the platform addon, which solves many of the issues with tenting as you no longer have to pivot the thumb cluster. It is expensive though.

Both keyboards also have shrimp switches to make typing pretty quiet.

This combined with a ball mouse have solved my RSI that developed a few years ago entirely.
