Fair enough, I live in Germany which is exceedingly convenient for the hobby. Around when I decided to build my first keyboard, there was a convention a few hours away by train. Went there and tried out all these testers and keyboards that these super nice people were providing. Based on what I’ve always liked, I thought I wanted a 20-40g linear low profile switch, but turned out I loved Kaihl sunset, which was tactile and 55g or something.

So, yeah, if you’re not sure, best to try to get some testers. Good luck!

Can you order some testers first, or maybe ask around in a local keyboard group if someone can let you try their keys? I find it to be the easiest way to figure out what’s actually comfortable.

I’ve got a 42 key cantor at home, previous keyboard was Logitech K860. At work we get these standard full sized keyboards that come with the PCs we order. I’ve had no real issues switching, apart from the first two days of getting used to the layout. Sometimes I’ll hit the XCVB keys wrong, but that doesn’t bother me too much.

Thanks!

I’ve been using Logitech ERGO K860 at home before this, so maybe I’ve just gotten used to the wrist rests. I’ve noticed that I lift my wrists into the air when I type on the Cantor, so I thought I needed some support. It’s actually not uncomfortable and I don’t type a lot, so I’ll take your advice and try a little longer with this setup. I’d honestly really like to avoid taking up the space on my desk, since I like to write on paper.

splitkb.com. They ship internationally from Netherlands, Europe. They have some really nice MBK PBT keycaps. I also ordered some cream yellow from them and those look great too.
