I’m considering the Moonlander but I have small hands. I have an older Iris which is a good fit but doesn’t have hotswap and occasionally needs to be unplugged and replugged to work. I am looking for something that just works, not a new soldering project - especially since my office will cover the cost.

Which would you recommend? And is it the end of the world if I can’t reach the full thumb cluster on the Moonlander?

    I use my moonlander with the thumb clusters pushed all the way up instead of down or ‘tented’. However this created some wobble so I bought an extra set of feet from ZSA and installed them on the outside of my board (there’s already a screw hole there from factory, just need to take the cover off). I love it! I have small women’s hands and no problems at all with my moonlander layout , cluster buttons set to my modifiers and space bar.

    If you’ll forgive my filthy desk picture, here she is:

        I took a couple pictures to show my hand size and also the feet on the outside of the board (I realized the first picture I showed didn’t have them installed!

          That’s very helpful, thank you - also neat to see which angles you’ve used.

          I ordered my Moonlander earlier today.
