This is the ergo keyboard that you NEED to buy. Neo Ergo review!

Ғылым және технология

At this point I can't sing the praises for Qwertykeys and Neo keyboards enough. They've put out banger after banger, and the Neo Ergo is no different. Starting at only $130 for an extremely high quality board with all the "usual" Quality of Life features like magnetic connectors, screwless assembly, yada yada, this is honestly a NO BRAINER. Check it out below and get $10 off if you order now through June 18th!!!

    I find it weird that other reviewer's barely mention the "ergo" part of this keyboard, ie talking about RSI and comfort. Thanks for covering that in your review

    It's funny how the ergo layout gets its name from the TGR board, and everyone forgets that the Alice was inspired by the Linworks EM7 (later EM8 which was tented, I believe).

    how does the plateless vs with plate compare, in terms of feel? was wondering if there's a more significant difference or less since the PCB comes in 2 pieces

    That's a bold choice to map the right shift and arrow keys as you have. I think most people would have used a traditional inverted-T and then have the shift to the right. Or, not have an arrow cluster and set up the keys as Shift, Function, Control, and Alt. Personally, I'd probably do the latter, and then map arrows on a layer -- maybe [ ; ' / like on HHKB

    Looking at other builds I see the arrow cluster as an inverted T, so it's definitely not a limitation of the pcb. That would've been a dealbreaker for me.

    I would leave the right shift in the up arrow position but just use mod-tap to enable both up arrow and right shift functionality on it. Can reserve the rightmost 1u as a Fn key or something else.

    In other reviewers' videos, NEO has commented that placing the diffusers on top or below the board is fine either way

    Would buy it instantly if there was some magnetic switch compatibility with the PCB! That keyboard is really impressive for the price by the way. Nice to hear that there are some cheaper options out there.

    5:18 Well.. maybe because you're not supposed to put the shift key on the left of the top arrow ^^ Go check the picture of different layouts in the neo ergo folder in the qwertykeys notion :)

    He put it there because he was hitting the up arrow when he meant to hit the right shift key.

    Imagine if hobbyist/enthusiast custom keyboards had input latency like a basic EVGA Z15, simple media controls like a volume/mute knob, a bios mode, USB passthrough and an optional PCB for north facing LEDs to enable shinethrough OEM keycaps. Then maybe such keyboards would be relevant to gaming. Love your videos, this is a scene roast. They should listen to you about this stuff.
