Buy a New Keyboard

Fleeting

My typematrix keyboard is dead. I want a new one. Instead of directly spending 150€ in a new keyboard, I’m looking at the alternatives.

I would like to try a keyboard that is:

• split,
• ortholinear,
• quiet,
• with switches at least like the typematrix,

• [2021-08-18 Wed] EDIT: I finally got back to buy a new typematrix. I like it and finding a better keyboard looks like a full time job.

Those are the references some friends gave me.

Most of them use the same firmware

Actually, I don’t want to spend time building or customizing a keyboard. I may want that in the future, but I don’t right now.
