It still sucks though. It doesn’t play nice with dark mode on Windows at all. I’ve been trying to get away from Google docs and I was hoping Libre would be a decent alternative, but it just feels bloated and clunky in comparison. I really wish it didn’t.
If anyone has alternatives I’m all ears.
Ahhh, okay, that makes sense. I can see where there might be demand for a more efficient layout as you’re getting away from looking and poking. Probably a lot easier to get there if you don’t have a couple decades and some change of qwerty typing taking up brain space.
Oh! I feel like I’d cramp up with an index mouse, but that’s neat!
I love my Ergo, honestly. The programmable buttons are really nice, and i like the horizonal scroll wheel leaning. Plus the angle is a lot more comfortable than their other ball mice.
What’s really made a difference for me though is the precision mode button. It’s upped my graphic design game in a major way! It honestly feels kind of like having a half-assed tablet as far as the more precise control goes! It’s waaay easier to draw with, though if i were doing more freehand stuff (and could draw for shit) obviously a tablet would be better.
The Ergo has been my daily for few years now, and some iteration of Logitech’s style of thumb ball since about 2004, I’ll never go back!
I asked though because i was curious to have a point of reference for looking at the differences. What do you like about the Huge?
They’re labeled as Keychron Pros or something like that, but to my understanding they’re literally just Gaterons with a different name.
Glad you’re liking it! I’ve fallen in love with mine! Honestly, the sound never gets old! :D
I’ve got a V6, bought it around a month or so ago as my daily and it’s been great. I bought it assembled, and the stock gateron browns it came with were really nicely factory lubed. Same with the stabilizers.
Four layers of electrical tape later and some nice thick ASA keycaps and it sounds amazing! Gives it a unique look without being impractical too! If you’re looking to swap your knob out, guitar knobs fit pretty well, though they may be a little more flush with the case on the underside than you’d like unless you sand them down a little first.
In any case, the v6 is a great board. Really solid feeling, and VIA is a really nice workflow changer.
Also, it says that layers 0&1 are for Mac and 2&3 are for Windows, but you can use all four for whatever, that’s just the default they’re programmed for.
Thumb ball gang! What mouse is that? Have you tried Logitech’s MX Ergo? If so, what do you like about yours?
Coley did a pretty detailed review on these if you haven’t seen it!

Personally I’m not sure how i feel about the sound they make on the way back up, but i bet they feel nice!
How do you get yourself to learn a new keyboard format after years of typing with qwerty?
I’ve looked at some of these alternate options and i can see how they’d be efficient, but like, i can’t see myself unlearning qwerty after decades of typing every day.
Nah, they’ll just fix the excess inventory with another contest! It worked really well last time!
