I feel like keyboards that are built to be good to type on are underrated even by people that spend a lot of time typing. I recently started using a mechanical keyboard and like you say, I didn't know what I was missing until then.

And this with the early 2015 MacBook Pro (i.e. The last one before the butterfly switches). I thought that not having the trackpad at my fingertips would be annoying (I use my thumb so I never have to leave home row), but in practice I don't switch between the keyboard and mouse enough that it's an issue.

I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago to replace my old wired aluminum Apple keyboard that got bent after traveling a couple of times in my suitcase. After a couple of hours of typing, when looking at the keyboard, I found that something was off.The Keyboard Company, offered great support and immediately send the missing key with instructions on how to replace the faulty one.My overall impression of this keyboard after a few weeks of typing.

Coming from an Apple wired keyboard, it takes a while to get used to the firmness of the keypress that is needed to get a keystroke out of it. In that respect, I miss my old wired Apple keyboard. The colors are a nice addition, however, what did it for me is the built-in USB hub, which makes it so I only need one USB connection to have a stable keyboard and mice connected to my Mac. Someone should make a ortholinear keyboard for MacBook Air.

Maybe even make it mechanical and then add protruding edges to the border of the screen so that the higher buttons can fit.I bought my MacBook Air for the long battery time, nice display and acceptable price, and because macOS is a pretty good operating system and I can live with not running Linux on my laptop.I miss my ErgoDox EZ keyboard that I use at home a little bit but I am long since done dragging an external keyboard with me wherever I go. So a mechanical ortholinear keyboard for MacBook Air would be really nice.

So if you are switching keyboards all the time say from the UHK on your desktop to your laptop keyboard then your muscle memory is going to get a bit confused and keys aren't as easy to subconsciously hit. The mouse layer on the UHK is incredible and I find I try to use it all the time on other keyboards which obviously don't have it. Also function keys and escape haven't been as big a problem as I thought they would.

Your brain just adapts quickly. One thing is that I do have trouble getting used to split mode because the halves move around slightly and my muscle memory doesn't know exactly where keys are. I tend to leave the halves together.

It may be worth mentioning that going to the ergodox layout requires a not insignificant learning curve. I can type at a fast speed (around 144 WPM before losing accuracy) on a standard board, but trying to pick up the new layout was really painful - I eventually ended up selling mine after a month of trying to adapt.Part of this is my weird typing style (I occasionally cross fingers over to the other side of the board to type certain words at certain times - you can't do this on a split board), and part of this are function keys and enter being placed right around the spacebar area, in a zone where you normally can just depress your thumb and not have to think about the positioning too much. I had the same weird typing style but really wanted to use the split ortholinear keyboard layout due to some pain I was feeling in my forearmAdapting to the layout was frustrating. It took me a week of standard use to not have typos. About a month to lock down the location of modifier keys and layer layouts.Was it worth it? In my case, absolutely. The pain in my forearms disappeared.

I also type 'properly' on standard staggered keyboards now.It turns out that in my case, the weird typing style was part of why I was feeling pain in my forearms in the first place. I wish they would do a better job on the firmware. I still love this keyboard, but the fact that they haven't updated their keyboard controller since the USB version came out is a bit sad (please let me know if they have).If you have a modifier-heavy workload the keyboard gets lost. A few times a day I have to flip through all the modifiers to get one unstuck.

Probably once a week I have to power cycle it since that isn't sufficient. There is so much room in the case I also wonder why they haven't invested a little effort and made a bluetooth with battery option - I've been sorely tempted to do this but never could justify the time.The thing I really like.

about this keyboard aside from modifiers on thumbs is that you can effectively use it on your lap and shift positions. It feels a little more like a musical instrument that way. Unfortunately they just didn’t last that long.I bought one about two years ago and it wasn't everything it should have been.I used it with an iMac, and about 10% of the time it would shut off while the computer was asleep. So I'd have to wake the computer with the power button, then get the old Apple keyboard out of the closet so I could enter the login password, then re-pair the Matias keyboard.It would occasionally un-pair itself while I was typing. And the letters started rubbing off within a few months.I ended up going back to Apple keyboards and have had zero problems.
