Been using this for a while now, had a kinesis advantage 2 but wanted more customisation without paying a premium for the new advantage 360.

There’s no led lighting so the battery lasts forever. Haven’t timed it but reckon I get at least a month out of it coding 8 hours a day

    How do you like the dactyl compared to the Kinesis?

      Thought I’d miss the wrist rests but I don’t. The concavity and thumb clusters feel very similar.

      The main benefit for me is having more flexible key mapping and also having layers. Also it’s a lot more portable when going into the office.
