Shut up baby, you love it

Without a KLE people might seem to overlook that this board is pretty difficult to kit. Double Y notwithstanding, you also need a 1.75u enter (hurray for the handful of sets that go beyond usual 3-key 40s kitting), and double 2.25u shift keys.

Personally I only do 40s and below, but feel this needs to be pointed out. Would totally get this though, if I was into big boards.

40 under 60 shell

Been typing on a Neo Ergo with Aqua King V3s for a long while now. Tented Alice is my perfect layout. It's got MTNU mictlan on it currently with some resin.

Welcome back to the rabbit hole! There is no escaping this place, especially once your wallet starts burning again.

Shoutout to your supportive wife for that Drop Alt, but going from an integrated plate (stiff as a rock) to a modern gasket mount with a PC or FR4 plate is going to feel like typing on clouds.

Since you are doing heavy research on layouts and specifically mentioned wanting a "gentle typing experience" for work, allow me, an Ergo enthusiast, to whisper a dangerous idea into your ear: Split keyboards.

If you truly want the ultimate typing comfort for the office, separating the two halves to match your natural shoulder width is a game-changer. It stops your shoulders from hunching and lets your wrists rest at a natural angle. I won't tempt you with specific rabbit holes just yet, but definitely keep an eye out for ergonomic split boards while you browse. Your wrists will thank me, even if your wife doesn't!

Jokes aside, you can't go wrong with a PC/FR4 plate and screw-in stabs for that perfect balanced sound. Good luck with the build!
