   the logi ergo k860 looks like a neat keyboard (slowly researching eventual replacements for my MS Sculpt), but I wish they had a TLK version, I can't deal with full-key anymore, too uncomfortable.

     @djlink If you like the split layout you should probably look into something truly split like the Keychron Q11, Kinesis Edge or similar, they have more options

     @sinbad the edge does look nice, although we're probably paying premium for that RGB xD

     @djlink TBF it's hard to find a good keyboard that doesn't have RGB these days 😭

     @sinbad @djlink
     The Kinesis Freestyle Pro is like the Edge but without the RGB! It seems the Freestyle 2 that I've used for years is also still available. It lacks the Pro's macro/remapping functionality but is similar unlit.

     I was worried the RGB model would replace everything, but hopefully they keep selling them all!

     @bbbscarter @djlink @idbrii I like the idea of these sorts of things but my brain is already so chock full of key combos if I have to remember any more I’ll start forgetting how to do multi-caret editing or something 😉

     @djlink @idbrii @sinbad fair. For my personal use I rarely use function keys, and when I do I hold a combo key with thumb/pinky and press the number keys. But indeed, that might not be enough if you use function keys a lot.

     The lovely thing is how configurable it is. You can set it so that you have a toggle key that makes the number keys always function keys, until you toggle it off again; or so that holding down a number key triggers a function key; etc.

     @bbbscarter @idbrii @sinbad I've seen these recommended a couple times, but I need my function keys row xD

     @idbrii @sinbad @djlink can also heartily recommend the ergodox; I’ve been using the ergodox-ez for years, and it has a no-led option. https://ergodox-ez.com

     I recently discovered the key switches are easily swappable, which I’ve found handy for trying different configurations.

     @sinbad @djlink @idbrii indeed, you have to make space for the new things by aggressively evicting old knowledge. My new keybindings came at the expense of the Battle of Hastings, and I've got some new ones that I'll probably have to sacrifice the ‘For Mash Get Smash' aliens advert jingle for.
