Title: Meetup / where can I try an ergodox? (UK)
Post by: scissorfingers on Mon, 19 September 2016, 18:24:24

Hi

I find the idea of a keyboard I can keep using for many years because of the open design appealing -- but I'm not sure about the layout and don't know anybody who owns one.

Do any of you meet up to compare notes ever?

Or is there some other way I can try one out before dropping a significant amount of money on something that my hands might not like at all?  It's the thumb thing that I'm a little doubtful about, not the column layout.

...er, and I live in London :-)

In the UK, there's only one London all you people in the US ;-)

Did you get to try one? I've got an original Ergodox in York but do occasionally visit That London

There is going to be a /r/mk meet up in London next Sunday.  I am bringing my ErgoDox if you would like to try it!

tilt a normal keyboard at 45 degrees.. 

lift the right side up until it makes 45 degrees on the left corner.


That's the basic feel of an ergodox..
