Unicomp's "New" Model M Keyboard

I was doing quite a bit of shopping for a split ergo about a year ago.

My main contenders ended up being:

  - Glove80
  - Advantage360
  - ZSA Moonlander
  - ZSA Ergodox
  - Various alice layout KB's (not full split.  ex: Keychron K15)
  - Custom building some sort of sofle or dactyl - ZSA recently came out with the voyager which looks essentially like a wired 65% sofle.

In the end I went with the Glove80, which I _highly_ recommend. It's the most comfortable keyboard I've used, bar none. The biggest knock I have on the Glove80 is the fit/finish for its price-it doesn't feel like you'd imagine a $400 keyboard would. The unique design makes it worth it for me, though.

I keep saying I should trying the Moonlander, but I never get around to it. The ErgoDox thumb clusters were too much of a stretch for my thumbs - I think the adjustable ones on the moonlander would help

Edit: A Dactyl with a trackball would be pretty sweet too. They seem to be getting a bit easier to buy now too.

The thumb cluster design was one of the reasons I went with the Glove80. Moonlander, ErgoDox, and even Advantage 360 thumb clusters seem harder to hit than the Glove80's, though I do wish there was some option to use 1.5u keys on the Glove80 thumb cluster.
