Have a look at the dox ez
the issue with the dox ez, is that the tenting mechanism points inward at an angle, this consumes space between the two halves, which many people use for the mice..
So if you wanted a high tenting angle, it couldn't be done using the dox ez's solution, you'd still have to drill holes for your own bolts.
Now that I got your attention: did you compared the dox with an Dactyl? I am loving my dox with fullhand case so far, but I feel it could get improved.
looking into what you think of it
I think the inward shwoop shape is fundamentally the WRONG approach..
The keys are only closer to your fingers assuming you hands DO NOT MOVE..
That is simply not the case with any typing layout, be it qwerty , dvorak, etc,
I think the thumb button being closer will help some people, but overall if the dox is tented properly at 55^ degrees and up, the thumb button shouldn't be an issue..
The further away thumb button only causes issue for people when the dox is flat, requiring wrist rotation to press the key.. the further inward on a flat plane, the more wrist rotation is necessary to meet the key..
ANYWAY.. I think the dactyl is copying a feature that was not fully use-tested.. and not fully understood by the engineer who copied it..
He's assuming that it works because it's on a kinesis.. but he's never thought that hey, the kinesis is wrong..
From the photos I've seen online of dactyl, people also do not tent the keyboard plane more than 30 degrees, so it seems novice users/owners are missing the mark on what makes a split keyboard better, THE TENTING, just as much on the dactyl as the ergodox..
TENTING is all.. did I mention tenting.. yea tenting.. good stuff..
