I’m hooked on the ergodox classic, but I’ve used an ergodox variant of some kind for at least 6 years now and won’t go back.

The little ortho-linear keyboards that are popular now make me cringe, they look worse than laptop keyboards.

I was toying with the idea of picking up the moonlander, but it looks kind of big. The wrist rests seem ridiculously large. Can you use the tenting feature without them?

If you take the Moonlander apart, you can probably remove the wrist rests and it would still tent fine.

However large it may seem, the size seems good to me. I only actively use (i.e. place my hand on) maybe 2/3 of it, but the remainder makes it so that the angle is more comfortable than I imagine it would be if it were shorter.

It's worth mentioning I have relatively large hands. If you don't, you might need a fair bit less space.
