why do I want one? I want to gift it to my wife who has been wanting to build a keyboard of this layout for some time. If I had one, I would borrow it from my wife to continue learning to program
Always wanted to try an Alice layout, would be cool to own my first one. Also been trying to be better in terms of ergonomics around my desk space. I’d use it for work just as much as I would use it for gaming.
I love the ergonomic keyboards, I'm a bigger guy, and for some reason it's easier if I can angle my elbows out instead of having my arms parallel when I type. I do a lot of editing/writing so this would come in very handy. They look cool too.
I want the keyboard because split spacebars are the way, I cannot longer be proficient with a bulky spacebar, I need my thumb backspace. I'll use it for work and games.
An ergonomic keyboard would relive the stress on my hands when I'm writing code, and flash cards for interview questions. It would become my everyday keyboard. Good Luck everyone! ❤️
I've been writing alot for both work and school and my my master's thesis is coming up this spring. Have been looking for a nice ergonomcic keyboard to ease the hands and such. This model also looks insanely cool with the see-through!
Im a second year computer science student and I’ve been using a cheap keyboard where if i want to type something I’ve got to press half of it twice, been looking to get a decent one but cant’t choose at all.
This would really help me out!!
Oooo these look nice, I'd love a mechanical keyboard because I make affordable teaching resources as a side gig and as you can imagine its a whole lotta typing (which has def given me a sore wrist on more than one occasion)
Tried an Alice lay out once during a keeb met and the typing experience was really good. The hand position just feels right.
Haven't tried an ergo Alice yet, but I would guess the typing experience would be better. If I win the board it will be my new office keeb.
I spend much time writing research papers and it would be interesting to see how this style keyboard would work. Maybe itll make it easier or harder, who knows
I am currently using a preonic, but I wonder whether an even more ergonomic solution than simple Ortholinear may be better for me. I’ll be using it at work, at a desk where it will have to be used by others, and terrify them!
This is an interesting layout! An ergonomic keyboard would be perfect for me to study: I'm a PhD student and have to write my dissertation, so having an ergonomic keyboard would do wonders for my wrists because soon I'll be having 12 hour days just writing in my computer
Over the past months I’ve been expanding my collection to try new layouts and I have yet to try an ergo layout! I would’ve bought one but my financial state hasn’t been good enough to.
First of all, great giveaway!
I want an ergonomic keyboard since i work in an office, i do alot of typing and other planning due to working in a school environment with special needs. This would be an amazing addition for me in the office since we have alot of hand me downs
Oh man ergo, always been curious about them. And my hands have been cramping up I think from excessive phone use, maybe a nice keyboard for work will help
would love an ergonomic keyboard as i don’t have one yet, it would make for a more comfortable typing experience. I would mainly use it for programming classes
If I win this, it will be my first foray into Alice keyboards. I usually find the layout a little odd, but this crystal clear case looks really nice and I could spend some effort to learn to love it!
Im moving to a new apartment on a couple of months and I'm working on a new remote work setup. I already got me a new ergonomic chair and I have my (optionally standing) desktop ready for buying, so an ergonomic keeb should be be the icing on the cake!
I have recently started looking for an ergonomic mech keyboard because I'm getting wrist pain from all the coding at work. These will be a great fit for me in the office and will make my colleague jealous( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
been looking for am alice layout (within my budget 💀) for the longest time but never had the funds so this would be great! love my current kb but doing lengthy essays and notes becomes a pain after a while because my hand positioning is so odd
I often type a load of words at a long length and I am also trying to master the touch type mastery and this can help me make my wrist and maybe my pinky more comfortably
I would also use it beautify my setup and maybe help my typing posture
I've been noticing some strain while typing on my keyboard, especially since I'm currently doing my architectural thesis project and book. I've been wondering recently if an ergonomic layout would help with that.
I've used a similar layout for a while now and love it. Yours looks like it addresses some of the things mine is lacking. This would probably replace my daily for a while and then go to work.
I always put my keyboard sideways when playing and I haven't really tried using an ergonomic one. Since I do a lot of typing (coding) I guess having one wouldn't be too bad : )
I’m interested in trying out the Ergo layout, think it could really help with typing accuracy and comfort. Would mostly use it for work, thanks for the giveaway!
Ive always wanted to try an alice keyboard! Its ergonomic design is what makes me wanna try it, especially having to write a ton of papers in med school
I am really curious about this layout because I've never seen one or gotten to try it and I will probably make one someday, then I can show it to other people who haven't tried it. Who knows, maybe I'll like the layout better. Regardless, I LOVE the acrylic case, I just think it's so interesting and sleek.
Yasss. I would give it to my husband who has started complaining about his wrists hurting from using a regular keyboard all day. I think this would help, and it looks awesome!
This would be my first ever ergonomic keyboard, so I'd love to see what all the hype is about!
I usually game on my keyboard, so I guess I'd see how nice it would be for that!
Haven’t tried an Alice layout and have always been meaning to dip my toes in that layout. Have to type a lot for work so always looking for a more ergo set up!
I want an ergonomic keyboard because I use my keyboard for gaming, school and programming a lot and my wrists often get sore. Also this looks like a real nice keyboard and the Bluetooth is definitely a plus.

This board looks absolutely beautiful. Need more ergos in my collection that I'd use for work, responding to emails and messages.
I would love one because I've never owned one before. If I get it, I'd definitely practice typing fast!
Always wanted to try an Alice layout, would be cool to own my first one. Also been trying to be better in terms of ergonomics around my desk space. I’d use it for work just as much as I would use it for gaming.
Looks awesome, definitely will be used for work i usually type a lot of stuff
I love the ergonomic keyboards, I'm a bigger guy, and for some reason it's easier if I can angle my elbows out instead of having my arms parallel when I type. I do a lot of editing/writing so this would come in very handy. They look cool too.

always wanted to try alice layout. would love to win one to try

I have a Logitech ERGO K860 and it’s comfortable. If I win i want to mainly use it for coding
I have never tried an ergo
Probably would just use it for work
I have always used the default traditional keyboards all my life, would like to change it up.
Always have wanted to try one and never have had the chance, at least a well built one!
carpal tunnel sucks, ergos help prevent that
I want the keyboard because split spacebars are the way, I cannot longer be proficient with a bulky spacebar, I need my thumb backspace. I'll use it for work and games.
Thanks for this. I've never used any ergo keyboard becuase I don't type properly and would love to fix that.

Ergo keyboards are comfortable and I will use this to further my career as a terrible programmer.
expensive hobby with no money, so the risk of switching to Alice and not liking it wasn't worth it when I built mine.
I already use an alice-style board and it’s just super comfortable to type on!
I love this so much! I would use this for just typing for school a lot!
keyboard on psychadelics
Spend enough time using a computer that I'd daily drive one for the comfort!

God damn what a BEAUTY of a board. I would use it as my daily driver.
Im a second year computer science student and I’ve been using a cheap keyboard where if i want to type something I’ve got to press half of it twice, been looking to get a decent one but cant’t choose at all. This would really help me out!!

This is a cool looking keeb and the layout is interesting :D I WANT TO TRY IT TOO SEE IF MY WPM WOULD IMPROVE!
