At 44 years old, I never cared about my keyboard or speed. I was jealous of my wife 80Wpm and decided to take a test..., 10 wpm and I was watching my keyboard. I took the free classes online and started touch typing and after 2 months I was at 25 Wpm(98% acc). Then I purchased a Moonlander thanks to your video. In less than 1 month, training 1-2 hours/day , I reached 50wpm(98% accuracy) various times. This is a game changer, and probably it should be a standard as It made my shoulder pain completely away. A must have and thanks again for your amazing review.

I travel with mine. It gets checked in, so I use the case often. I swapped my liner red with Kailh silent browns. Love them. Also, the long keyboard cable works well when operating on a couch. Agree, the cables are a bit naff

That's a great video. Just some FYIs for anyone watching this video, you can get the Moonlander with blank keycaps (same goes for the ErgoDox EZ and likely the other 2 from ZSA). You can choose a longer warranty (so you're not stuck to a 1 year warranty).

Thank you for explaining this thoroughly!

This review pushed me over the edge, I gotta get one now. The split looks soooo good for the wrists

Thanks! Great, genuine review!!!

Thanks for this review. Pulled the trigger--loved my keychron but time for a change

I think the metal piece under your red key is called a stabilizer and if you lube it, that will deal with the sound without having to remove it entirely.

thanks for the review! a little different than other similar reviews, but it's pretty good.

Thanks for the review. Just a note: the metal piece under the red keycap is a stabilizer, not spring.

FYI you can change the color of the (single-color) rgb animations with the "hue +" and "hue -" keys. You can also configure a key to set the hue to a specific color.

I really loved this review. Normally the people that review the Moonlander (that I've seen) are professional keyboard people. Not normal people. I'm a professional programmer, so I type all day, but would rather hear a review from someone who works hard with their hands than someone who has 6 bajillion keyboards. So thank you for the review. You're the reason I'm buying it. As for your complaints or hopes for improvements. I feel that they were all valid. I personally don't care about the RGB effects, but I can see why you'd want the ability to set them up to be more intuitive especially since you're the end user so you suffer with it more than the engineers at ZSA. I also loved how you learned about the spring for the red thumb button during the video! It made me laugh and I think I'll try the same thing on removing the metal bar and see how it feels. Great review man

That is a nice keyboard. I’ll never give up my X-Bows though, it is very very ergonomic and at the price of good mechanical keyboards, not a price to the moon. But this seems very good too and maybe even more versatile. May I add that ortho is mandatory but it is nothing without a dvorak disposition.

I'm so excited for mine to come! I ordered the black moon lander earlier today. I've never used an ergo keyboard before and this one definitely seems amazing.

Excellent review!! Btw I'm genuinely curious on how you edit videos using it. I use both Premiere Pro and After Effects regularly and I'm afraid I won't find a layout that helps me with it, could you do a video on it?

I just invested quite a bit in some nice keyboard(s). It's nice to switch it up a bit for typing comfort I found. This was mostly in anticipation of the considerable hours I'll be spending on my degree and a couple of computer-heavy subjects the next year. However, now my wrists are starting to hurt quite a bit from the excessive keyboard usage, and I wish I spent the money on this in the first place! It just makes so much sense, but it's far to expensive for my student budget right now.

Just curious what are those marks on your hand?

TNice tutorials comnt from you is legendary. Uncomplicated like your video!!!

I used my traveling case every day for a year, it was very useful. It’s a good thing to have, even if you are say, moving to a new home or something like that. Keeps the keyboard safe. I am a year and a half in, and my kids have never cracked.

Thank you for the most thorough review I have seen. You cover questions I had and have not seen on any other video. I used a standard ergonmic keyboard and have to have surgery again. I needed a keyboard to prevent it from happening again. I was too on the fence about this keyboard. I am now sure I am purchasing The Moonlander. Your bloopers at the end are hilarious. I do have a question. Do they only replace defects until the one year warranty expires? If the same issue happens again like your situation, do they still replace? Thanks again!

Hey i know this video is over a year old but thank you i will probably have to take the plunge into my first split keyboard ever. I was super concerned due to it not having my layout but given you can program every damm key and have multiple profiles it helped me get over that part. BTW when gaming could you unplug the right side still be gaming?`

Let me start off by saying that you can now choose the blank key caps option for their ergo boards. Furthermore, you could have kinda lubed those stabilizers instead of removing them, but it doesn't really seem like a super useful key anyway, so you do you. They used the most ancient and universally hated stabilizer type, which is admittedly quite disappointing to see at this price point and age. In practice, you would almost never see these on a custom-built keyboard anymore because they are an absolute nightmare to deal with, and until today I thought they'd gone extinct a decade ago, right after I got my first and only mechanical keyboard that had these, which made cleaning and swapping keycaps super annoying.

I have ordered moonlander and waiting now :)

Great video. Quick note: they do come with blank keycaps now.

Nice video appreciate the review.

I'm thinking about buying an ergonomic/split keyboard to replace that exact Arteck keyboard you showed at 0:52 , that by the way, it's been great so far for years.

Nice video, im getting one. Good luck with your channel, its takes time.

I ordered the New dygma defy some days ago, yes i habe to wait some more months but it seems to be the endgame, wireless mobile, inbuilt tenting, really development in thumb keys

Great vid my g@

I have 3 custom keyboards I like to rotate, but I have never used an ergonomic board. There seems to be a lot of videos out there saying they suck or they are great, and it’s pretty divisive. I’m really interested in the Moonlander and the typing lessons they offer. What do you guys think? Btw, your hands are fine, but I guess you catch some heat for their appearance? Doesn’t bother me at all, but now I’m curious what kind of work do you do with your hands?

Thought of getting this keyboard but the price is a big factor. Also, I only recently bought my current keyboard and I like it enough that I don't want to replace it just yet.

At 3:05, how did you set the Function keys under the number keys?

Care to share how you did the rainbow rgb? I'm getting this keyboard soon and would love to integrate that

spot on with the review. I would add here the switches which are extremely noisy even if they. are presented as silent tactile.

Great video, recently brought the moonlander love it so far. Have you seen the Advantage360? Might be a keyboard that could beat moonlander!

Moonlander customer service is absolutely incredible. And props to the Dygma lady constantly putting out content on UKposts. I'm two months into the Moonlander, and I only just made a change that made a huge difference: hovering your hands. I was getting super sore resting on the wrist rests and that position constantly had me readjusting my hands and re"centering" the keyboard. I started getting worried that it wasn't for me. After forcing myself to hover... this is 100000% the keyboard for me. Took a few days to get used to but alleviated a ton of discomfort.

Is there something similar that doesn't need a software suite and has shift keys, etc

How long took it for you to adapt to the columnar key arrangement? Can you switch between this and normal row-staggered arrangement without any issues?

Whats the length of the cable 20 cm?

can you try a glove80?

You can turn off the backlight, right?

Ive used a egro keyboard since I saw the first one made by MS , the big white one. Have a MS ergo now but the buttons are crappy membrane type. Also the keys are not linear such as this one. Very expensive though and frankly is looks fragile and cheap.

You might wanna go easy on the keyboard and your hands. They don't deserve so much torture. Just take it easy, soft and gentle. With everything & everyone around you. Since you are already pretty good and up there with choices like this keyboard.

Thanks for the video Dan. I'm thinking of buying this but i'm also still a bit of a gamer. How does it work for gaming?

are the red thumb buttons even placed ergonomically? it seems that it would not be possible to hit them properly without hitting the other thumb buttons unless you contort your hand or lift your wrist?

How did you like gaming on KB like this?

Check out the Dygma Defy

if you want custom lightning you can always use fork and code...

yes

Agreed - very disappointed with the cables they ship with!

Do we control the mouse with our feet while using this?
