Just some black acrylic. Not my idea, but I’d have to go diving through reddit to find the original.

Didn’t mean to mark it as 18… I’ll see if I can fix it.

You’re right: Layers are essential. I use three primary layers – colemak dh, numpad, and nav – along with several combos. Another key feature is what are called Callum-style mods, which are essentially “sticky”, one-shot modifiers.

I’ve been using this layout for quite awhile now, so I’m pretty used to it. It took a month or so to switch from qwerty to colemak, but the switch to ortholinear (like this one) and column-staggered took under a week. Switching to home-row mods took a day, and switching from those to Callum took about a week.

In general, I see more negative Moonlander reviews than positive – largely due to hand size (as others have noted).

I’d recommend starting off cheap: Get a couple of cheap PCBs, a soldering iron, and some bumpons. See what you like with your own money before using your work money.

As others have mentioned, it’s very much personal preference. I program with 34 keys every day with three primary layers: colemak dh, numpad, and nav. After having used Miryoku for almost two years, I’ve been using Callum-style mods for the past several months, and I really, really like it.

I’d recommend taking a look at keymaps in the QMK repo – especially for layouts similar to the board you’re using. You could also search github for zmk-config repos. It’s a different firmware, but layout is layout.

This. As someone else mentioned, lowprokb.ca is currently working on a silent choc switch (called “ambients”, I think)

I’d be willing to bet that just about everyone here used a 3rd party app…

It was fun, but the CGI was dated in parts. Overall, glad I streamed it instead of seeing it in theaters
