Hey all, I got a Moonlander keyboard a while back and I’m noticing that it hurts my wrist more than a normal keyboard.Im thinking maybe I should have gotten a split staggered keyboard instead since the columnar layout is making it really difficult to reach things with my pinky and is overall hurting my hands.

I think I’m just gonna sell it and try again with a split staggered board. Where should I go to resell?

    I mean, I’m interested in buying one - but we really need the security in the processes set up on /r/mechmarket to do it right. Or via one of the Discord communities.

    Surprised you’re struggling to reach stuff - the stagger on a moonlander is pretty subtle.

    Have you tried angling them inwards relative to your desk?

      The subtleness is what makes reaching hard. Top pinky is basically unreachable without moving your entire hand and/or wrist.

      I don’t find that surprising, the Moonlander only had very small pinky column stagger, so the upper pinky key is hard to reach (Q in QWERTY). You either need more aggressive stagger or a contoured keyboard with a raised pinky column.
