Firstly, I went to the old Subreddit and the last post is over 2 weeks ago. This community must be one of the first to totally abandon Reddit.

Secondly, to the point, I would love a premium ergo board, like the cornish zen. I see that Boardsource has an aluminum Lulu but its got about 20 keys too many for me. I’m currently using a Corne with 36 keys.

What are others thinking about premium boards? Or asked another way, what keyboards are you dreaming about today?

    I’m waiting for this guy to come back in stock. The KA360 and Glove80 are also mega premium, imo.

      I ordered the keyball39 during the last batch! But tbh I wouldn’t say it’s a premium emk.

          I haven’t received it yet, I’ll make a post with more thoughts when I built it 🙂

          But for me a premium keyboard should have an aluminum and/or a very well designed case. Whereas the Keyball boards uses a “simple” acrylic sandwich case. The trackball housing looks very well thought out tho.

            Do you know if the maker has a twitter or something so we can keep up to date with it?

              This is the maker’s twitter account, he regularly updates when new stock is coming (in Japanese).

                  Oh I dig it! How aggressive of a pinky stagger are you looking for? I’m currently using a chocofi but was thinking about grabbing one of those for work.

    A no expense spared board board for me would be a skeletyl from bastardkb, maybe when in a metal printed case. Right now i have a Lagrange which is very nice, but i don’t use all the (70) keys on my Lagrange so a 36 would maybe for me better.
    If i was in the market for a flat board, then maybe one with a trackpad like the dilemma, but I’m very happy with my zilpzalp as a portable “throw in bag” laptop keyboard.
