I had my eyes on a Moonlander but ended up sticking with my Iris Rev 3 and jumping on the Kickstarter for the Dygma Defy. Eagerly awaiting that one. I know this isn't really helpful but maybe just another option to consider.
For switches I really like my Zilents but there are plenty of great options out there at a wide range of prices. If you can I recommend getting a switch tester to try out a handful of options.
Can't really help with this specific decision, but maybe consider crossposting to ErgoMechKeyboards@lemmy.world for more exposure ot the ergo crowd :)
Since this is your first split maybe you should start with something cheaper like a Lily58 kit (lot of online store sell the lily) or something to see if split if something that works for you?
Looks like the Lily 58 Pro would be $162 pre-built plus switches and keycaps. So I'm guessing half the cost of a Glove80 ($400)? Mightest well go all in from the gate since I'm not gonna do the labor of building it myself. ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
I can check out cheaper split options on Etsy, though, if people really think I should test things out first. ๐ค
That's fair. If you really don't wanna build it yourself then finding a budget option is gonna be be difficult yeah.
For switches, I would probably get the silent red since you wanted something quieter, (and personally i would swap them out later with something better like TTC Wilds or some jwick blacks)
