I wouldn't mind one at groupbuy price but it's 100% collector item status and there's no reason otherwise to spend that money when there's a thousand other great alice boards out there

Tried an ergo board once, it’s all I want to use now, please help me.. I then bought a standing desk and I can’t stop telling people I use them!

[@ShoobsTube]

if you love the layout, you REALLY love the layout

[@armeli]

Shhh... don't worry. It's okay. People need to know how inferior their ergonomics are. I too use an ergo keyboard, a split one, and a trackball. The layout is a modified colemak for max ergorgasms, min bigram frequency and perfect hand alteration balance. Everyone is so fascinated and interested in my setup when I start to talk about it. :----D

[@camilorodriguez5603]

I swear I’ve been looking at Alice’s and debating them for the last week only for shoots to bless me with his thoughts

[@nightrunnerks]

I have a Mistel split and I absolutely adore it. I use it split when gaming so I put my mic in between the two halves. It's very hard for me to go back to the regular layout. You don't feel the difference until you try an ergo board.

[@jimbo_mode]

I have yet to find a split alice that ticks all my boxes. I would honestly cough up a crazy amount for the the perfect GB whenever it comes around. I'd love to have a split alice that tents and has arrow keys while retaining modifiers that aren't 1u wide. But thats very specific and I doubt I'll find one soon haha

*hears Watame's lullaby* *neurons activated*

[@furbybuddy]

If you have really broad shoulders, apparently this sort of layout can help immensely. Dad has been using a basic Microsoft one for years (only upgraded from an old one with a PS/2 cable to an usb one last year) cause otherwise his back gets thrown out

[@konraddabest]

as he said "even in the perspective of a not degenerate keyboard enthusiast" I looked down and realized that I'm taking apart 87 gateron yellows to combine with 87 nk creams to add to my 400 dollar keyboard. FML

[@JordanDoesKeebs]

What a coincidence, I just bought a Vulcan Maja today. Thanks for the great video.

[@ShoobsTube]

nice! hope you like it, the Maja is a great board.

[@Isaacthedank]

The beginning of Jordan's ergo journey.

[@frxnzyexe]

shoobs sounds like he always speaks in lowercase, which makes these videos really nice to play in the background while working on whatever. i should learn to speak like that.

[@imranaziz8381]

I will add on that, I have a keychron V10 which is an Alice layout and I have some custom xda keycaps profile because I actually don't use qwerty layout but a Dvorak layout and personally I feel a whole lot of comfort using that layout with Dvorak.

[@muCephei_]

Your physical body size matters too. If you have wide shoulders and bigger built, I think the Arisu style will help tremendously and you're arms are not at 45 degree angle to the keyboard, causing major strain to your shoulders and wrist.

When you dont even need the arrow keys, but you still get the "Arisu" coz ur weeb

[@theryster77]

I actually built my MGA Std for ergo. Using my tofu65 i was getting pain doing typing for school. Since I built my MGA my wrists no longer hurt. Plus alice layouts are super sexy, win-win

[@brananandreu4086]

im excited for my SKErgo to come in but thank you for this vid

[@yeonjihan681]

loving the new deskmat!

[@ggHarsha]

Personally standard keyboards make me feel like I’m bending my wrists too much and lead to strain a bit. I type slower on Alice layouts but they strain my wrists less from just a bit of experience!

[@xDisengage]

if you don't mind the look, stacked acrylic arisu's go for pretty cheap. I picked up a hotswap one for $150. Though now that I love it, I have the pain of trying to find a higher end board with the same/similar layout

[@brittle1]

3:44 how long is an "ear"?

[@rawrens]

As someone who speaks Japanese, here's some small FIY! - "Arisu" is pronounced almost like "Alice" except in 3 syllables and with a r sound in it (instead of 2 syllables and with l). Pronounced "ah-ri-su." Although the r in the word is more like a mix between r and l because Japanese have difficulty saying l's lol.

[@Sushu]

Yeah, it’s just Alice pronounced in Japanese. Had some of my American friends try to convince me otherwise... 😂
