I have been using a piantor built for me by beekeeb.com, and am enjoying the more agressive stagger than my previous Ergodox. However, my typing experience is being spoiled by how tight the key spacing is. I have large hands, and can span an octave on a full-size piano; the Piantor is downright cramped.
In looking for a possible replacement (the Kyria was my primary option, but I guess splitkb.com has entirely given up on selling pre-builts, and I don’t solder), what should I be looking at for specs to get some wider spacing on the keys? Is it simply “key spacing?”
Most commercial keyboards are fine; my prior was an Ergodox and the spacing was fine. The Piantor supplies that - it might even be a touch too much, but it’s still better than the tepid stagger on the Ergos.
It seems like most key spacing is pretty standard but if you used a board with mx switches, like the Corne, you’d have a bit more room.
