title: "Glove80: A keyboard that gets the details right" | ||
publishDate: 2024-10-01 | ||
draft: true | ||
--- | ||
|
||
For about a year and half, I've been using the Kinesis Advantage360 Pro. | ||
|
||
It's a great keyboard, and helped me quite a bit while I was trying to fix | ||
issues in my arm and wrist. I am grateful for this, as my issues were getting to | ||
the point where I was wondering if my software career would be cut short in year | ||
one. This keyboard may have saved my career. | ||
|
||
However, as sentimental as this keyboard is to me, it's not without its flaws. | ||
Most reviews will point out that, while the 360 might be one of the comfortable | ||
ergonomic keyboards on the market, it has flaws which you would not expect from | ||
a product of this price point. At nearly $500, you'd expect perfection. | ||
|
||
One such flaw is bluetooth connectivity: the two halves of the keyboard can have | ||
issues connecting to each other, and sometimes issues connecting to your | ||
computer. One morning, I spent 10 minutes trying to get the two halves to | ||
connect before I could start working. Out of frustration, I went straight to the | ||
Moergo website and ordered the Glove80, which I kept seeing in reviews (TODO: | ||
link reviews here).* | ||
|
||
I've been using the Glove80 for a just over a week. First impression? The | ||
Glove80 is an amazing keyboard, and *it solves every single issue I had with | ||
the Advantage360 Pro*. | ||
|
||
## Bluetooth | ||
|
||
- no bluetooth issues | ||
|
||
## Ergonomics | ||
|
||
- no so high on the desk | ||
- thumb cluster | ||
- nice pinky positioning | ||
|
||
## Software | ||
|
||
- with a programmable keyboard, you're not just getting the hardware, you also | ||
want good software | ||
- layout editor | ||
- fast build times | ||
|
||
## Travel case | ||
|
||
- it has one | ||
|
||
## Feeling | ||
|
||
- actually a pleasure to type on. the 360 is okay but doesn't feel amazing - I | ||
thought this tradeoff was necessary for ergonomics. the cherry blossoms feel | ||
amazing though. this is highly personal - the light chocs aren't for everyone, | ||
but as a musician, it's fun because I can practice absolute minimum movement | ||
|
||
## Downsides | ||
|
||
- Tenting, but I understand the tradeoff |
