my comment

I like glove80's design philosophy, i.e. elegant, super light, functional, no fat, and meticulous engineering to achieve it. If a product has premium feel for the sake of it (such as matching color screws), it rather adds a negative to me. (e.g. consider a cheap Casio watch vs grandfather clock. and keyboardio with wooden body and giant octo feet) High-tech and practicality i have a heart for.

i like the g80 feet over clunky big ones. i also find the typing sound to be fine. (one critical thing is that i need light liner switches because my Repetitive Strain Injury, so i have choc pro red (30g force) installed thanks to mkultra.)

I enjoyed your review, and enjoyed and your vids on 360, moonlander, and dactyl. Thank you.

One of the great guy in ergo keyboard community is Jane Bernhardt, creator of gergo keyboard. She also created the gChoc, a Kailh choc switch with 20g spring.

• gergoplex

Jane Bernhardt came across as a easy going guy but swearing a lot, but she gave me 2 keyboards for free, and also gave me $100 when i was in deep poverty. And apparently, she was also a great person in the DIY makers/startup community.

Centerpiece Keyboard from Finalmouse

https://x.com/finalmouse/status/1604323802422419456

• fancy, but impractical.
• they put the lcd under transparent keys
• this means, part of the display, eg the center of each key, will be hard to see
• and, it'd be not practical for the most important use of lcd key, namely, to show changeable label for the key
• if u wanna a screen with keyboard, better would be Buy at amazon
• and, with that, u constantly have to look down on the keyboard, which causes neck problem long term.
• so, even better, is a separate display. eg a small tablet.
• which then, render the whole display on keyboard tech, moot.
• apple tried with the display strip, it failed miserably.
• this kinda tech, is tech for tech's sake. but not actually useful.
