Reflections on my ErgoDox keyboard
A bit late to the party.. but if you read this..and havent seen the Model 01 yet.. you owe it to yourself to check it out. 2 piece split keyboard, more powerful processor (or similar..cant remember), fully programmable including multiple layers with shift/lock key capabilities as well as key combos, backllit LED, mechanical, and built in a wood keyboard frame, with tilt/tent options and more. A bit more in cost than the Ergo Dox, but by far the most beautiful keyboard youll find.

I can verify what others have said. The ErgoDoc thumb cluster is to far away. I'm six foot one and can only reach the two larger (and innermost) thumb keys without stretching if I place the keypads just so. The Kinesis is much better in this regard.
Incidentally, I mapped my ErgoDox to emulate the Kinesis so I can touchtype on blank keycaps. You can read about it and link to my ErgoDoc config here if interested.
