I'm currently using a Freestyle 2 but very tempted to get one of the keyboards featured in the linked page.

The main gripe I have with the Freestyle 2 is that I'd like to be able to separate the two keyboard halves much farther. I wish the cord between the two halves wasn't so short and hard to replace.

The other gripes are minor: don't really love the switches, the volume buttons don't work on Linux, and the tilt kit is a little annoying when I move the keyboard around (which I do a lot).

I moved from the Freestyle 2 to the Moonlander, and I'm a big fan of the following changes:

- Ortholinear layout, rather than staggered

- Sculptured keycaps, which I bought separately

- Modifier keys under my thumbs, making combos far easier

- Cursor keys in home position, using layers

- As you mentioned, a longer stretch between the halves

I've made many other tweaks that add joy beyond that, but those are the ones that made the upgrade worthwhile.
