When I first saw a ferris I thought they were a nerdy joke. I ended up buying one though due to severe RSI and wanting a programmable keyboard so I could reduce how far I was reaching for symbols etc.

I'm now a convert to programmables. My glove80 is more ergonomic, but I use equivalent keymaps on both and they're a game changer. It feels so clunky now if I use my laptop keyboard to actually have to reach for symbols, numbers, etc.

Home row modifiers, number, symbol, nav layers, colemak & qwerty... Just awesome. They've helped my RSI no end.

I’m still quite new to my glove80 and I’m still a bit slow on the modifier keys. I was looking for something a little more aesthetic in the beginning but everything else is amazing about it. I look forward to unpacking it from it’s case everyday. I did not know you could feel that way about a keyboard. :)

Great ergonomics and a great experience. They have an active discord and the two founders are active as well.
