    I like my ergodox, but I don’t think anyone would call it low profile. How do/did you like the Kinesis? I’ve been interested in them for years, but can’t wrap my head around the price. And I can’t help thinking I’d be typing the top row with my fingernails.

      Not OP, but I’ve used both the 2, the Dactyl, the ergodox, and now daily drive the 360. I think it is an incredible experience if you’re willing to shell out the price tag. I decided to get it because it truly is my endgame and I won’t be desperately experimenting with other boards (but I still will… because I enjoy the hobby lol, but its nice to have one that I am confident just works for me).

      TBH, I personally don’t use the top row. I’ve mapped mine to use a 3x5 layout mostly, the top row is just there when there’s a symbol I’m really struggling to type. But I have in the past and I do find it comfortable to use despite having smaller than average hands (the ergodox is way too big for me, for example).

        Thanks for the reply. Now I’m going to be fighting the urge to buy a 360. I think I can talk myself out of it because I have big hands and that is one of the things that I like about the Ergodox. The Kinesis keyboards just look so well made though.
