I just got the Glove80 keyboard unboxed. Coming into it from an Advantage 360 Pro. Decided it was time to change when I realized my pinky was getting sore (though that’s likely due to the 15 Pro Max than the keyboard).
Initial impression is super positive. It’s way lower profile than the 360, which makes the whole setup way more comfortable to use.
I opted for the very low force switches. I kinda regret that, I find myself mistyping too much, but I find myself typing fast when I’m going. This too is a much nicer experience than the 360, whose switches I didn’t like.
The key caps on the glove80 are also lower profile and closer together, without weird bumps between the keys, which makes it much easier to move fingers across keys.
The thumb cluster was useless on the 360 and it’s much nicer on the glove80, though the two large buttons were nice on the 360. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
I haven’t fully adjusted the layout yet. Biggest issue is that I had the home row setup well enough on the 360, but I want to iterate on it and make it more responsive. That’ll come later. I kinda want to get used to the default layer first so I “unlearn” the bad habits from the 360.
Very excited about this. If the low force switches remain a problem, I’ll switch and sell this one.
