Title: Is there a point keeping the Orbweaver if I buy the Ergodox??
Post by: FinancialWar on Thu, 20 November 2014, 20:59:06

Ergodox to me are essentially two Orbweavers but with less ergonomic design (look at Ergodox, it's completely flat and no rest for the palm).

Anyways, is there a point in keeping the orbweaver if I get the Ergodox?

I just really don't like that you can't replace the keycaps on it.
Also, the build quality of razer stuff is always questionable

Idk... not everyone can "Handle" the ergodox..

It's got a learning curve if you suck at typing to begin with..


If you're already doing 120+,  you'd have no trouble with the transition.


it's pretty much expert only realm.... (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/embarrassed2-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862502)
