How's the ZSA Moonlander?

(1/1)

Happyduck:
I'm debating to get hold of the ZSA Moonlander. Anyone on here that tried it out? How's your overall experience with it?

zegonix:
i never owned, or actually used one myself. but many colleagues at work have one.
from what i can tell:
+ good layout for many
- very expensive
- proprietary software
- insane construction for the stabilizers on the big thumb buttons

if you do not have the requirement of being able to maintain your keymap as text file and flash firmware from a terminal and just want something that works, it might be a good buy.
but as i said: take everything i wrote with a good amount of salt.

PandaKB:
The casing near the thumb zone hinge split open, but the keyboard works totally fine.

Quirus:
Thanks for the feedback!The price is definitely the hardest pill to swallow with the Moonlander. Good to know about the layout comfort, though.As for the proprietary software and the stabilizers on the thumb clusters, that's exactly the kind of user experience detail I was looking for. I don't really mind missing out on flashing firmware via terminal as long as the default configuration software works reliably out of the box.Appreciate your colleagues' insights, gives me more to think about before pulling the trigger!
