• Kinesis Freestyle (Terrible key switches. Mushy and un-lovable)

• Kinesis Freestyle Edge (Traditional layout with too many keys, mech switches, proably too big to be tented easily/properly)

• Matias Ergo Pro (Looks pretty great. Have not tried.)

• ErgoDox Kit (Currently, my everyday keyboard. Can buy pre-assembled on eBay.)

• ErgoDox EZ (Prolly the best option for most people.)
