Ooooooooooo what is that? I am in!!

I have previously built an ergodox, and five or six years after that, a Sol II from rgbkb.kb, which I love even more.

Those deep dishes of keys though!! I love it

That's the Kinesis Advantage 360. Unfortunately it's not hot swap and you're stuck with brown switches

I would still take one without thinking about it for a second if I could get it for less than $200

It is more than twice that price new lol didn't stop me from buying one though.

I will, one day. My doctor’s office exclusively uses them. It makes me happy every time I go in for an appointment.

You can choose the switches you get on it. I was just looking at the order site. You order it to be built through upgradekeyboards.com. They have a lot of options you can pick from. Though, you are right that you are stuck with what you choose unless you want to de-solder the switches to put in hot-swap sockets or solder in new switches.

You can buy from upgrade keyboards and get whatever switches you want, still won't be hotswap but you will have options.

Never heard of the Sol. I looked it up and rather liked it. I then spotted the soft hand case and thought that could be a winning combination. Then, I saw the price in CDN. Wow!

Oh I love it so much. It’s low profile. With just the plates it’s very slim/short. My favorite thing by far.

Also looking for something like this. I saw Angry Miao had something like it, but I don’t think I could stomach the $1700 it was.
