anyone else have an ergodox? i know theyre loving weird but assdrop has the ergodox infinity again and i really enjoy mine. the new version apparently does full usb3, instead of just using the extra wires as random serial lines, and the various annoyances with the first one (usb port detaching if you use it like a literal caveman, the usb3 cable they provided being straight toilets) seem to be fixed this time around

i built mine with browns so that i can use it at work instead of my blackbird tenkeyless with blues

if you haven't actually ordered yet then the best option is the WASD w/clears and PBT caps,

second best is vortex caps on the code which is what I have. backlighting is good for sure but not worth compromise cap material for and te vortex caps has legends in places that don't entirely make sense for the code

interesting idea grabbing the 40$ board, plus after you switch out the caps you have a spare

basically the same, both made by WASD people. I think code introduced clears but now theyre available on WASD? and so then only different is backlighting


SO... get the WASD with clears and PBT and without any kind of customisation whatsoever youll have one of the best boards you could wish for

Is an Ergodox really as good as I hear pretty much every user claim? I'd love one just for being a funky keyboard, but that MSRP of them is giving me a lot of doubts. If they're $500 good, what about the cheaper options? Would it be worth jumping on an Ergodox, or maybe waiting for an Ultimate hacking keyboard or keyboardio, or just sticking with a regular layout mechanical?
