Quick question for users: I hear a lot of complaints about the thumb keys being hard to reach. Is it comparable to reaching the buttons for the nub mouse on a ? That's at least not bad.

@rocx As someone with both... Ergodox is harder. Unless you have giant hands, the two large thumb keys are usable, bottom-most small is a small hand move, and the others in the cluster are "pick up your entire hand and look down to hit it with your pointer". A thumb can't physically bend over the bottom keys.

@pushcx Guess this will confirm what @algernon says. If the keycaps in the pictures are around the same size as the caps on my HHKBL2, it might not be that bad.

My hands may be too small to qualify for a presidential election, but likely not too small to use an Ergodox.

@pushcx The next part is to justify the ~$275-325 for an EZ model. It was hard enough on the $30-40 for my HHKBL2. But swappable switches... 🤔
