yeah, I was wondering how they compare because I'm hoping to buy it sometime later this year.

Mind giving a quick review so I know if I'm making the right choice? haha

I had one of the first revisions of the Ergodox EZ. There were some problems with the build quality, and a few of the legs arrived loose/broken. Customer service was great though, and I received replacement parts very quickly, but after a while the same parts came loose again. Likely a problem with the design or low quality component, which I hope the newer revisions have fixed. Otherwise a great keyboard, although it takes a while to get used to (around 3 months for me). I ended up building my own Ergodox using the open-source design - Now I have about 5-6 of them that I built myself, all with different keycap/switch configurations... Only negative is that I can no longer type on a regular keyboard ;)

ohhh ok, so it takes a while to get used but you find yourself more comfortable with it and productive?

Yes! Would definitely recommend the investment if you spend a lot of time typing on the computer ;)
