Re:Thoughts on Mechanical Keyboards and the ZSA Moonlander on Monday September 29, 2025 @10:20AM (#45414188)
I've had a Moonlander for a few years now and it's been incredible. The tenting and split layout completely fixed my hand and wrist pain.

I can't say I've had the same problems with quality as the author. The tenting can wobble if it's not tightened in a balanced position, but once it is, I haven't had it loosen. And the palm rests seem fine to me, but I've learned to put less pressure on my palms. The only issue I've had is the keyboard sliding away from you due to low friction when tented.

My board also came with Cherry MX Browns, which used for a couple of years. I recently switched to low profile key caps and Akko switches for a nicer tactile feel. With tenting, I felt like the cap height and travel distance was too large.

What's your note naming convention? I still haven't settled on one for my own zk system

Just checked my site, and the "Crawled - currently not indexed" pages are just garbage pages, like tags, categories, query params, etc.

What's wrong with that?
Why did you put it on skool?
Ah, looks like you need RTX to run. Sadly I only have a 1080ti
They should add AI that improves audio as well. Some older MIT and Stanford course playlists have pretty bad audio. It would be nice if they could just enhance the audio in place.
