+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
