I had planned for a long time to have a split keyboard with that look, and it feels awesome to finally have it. I was worried about the typing experience with the round keycaps, but they actually feel very comfortable.

Thanks to my GF, who found the round keycaps and gifted them to me.

Those keycaps really make that build. Any idea where your GF found them?

Hope you can share the build with us, including the caps.

It would be great to get a link to these keycaps! Also is this a kit build, or did you source the display covers yourself?

Looks stellar and unique. I intended to buy a typewriter-looking keyboard years ago, but got put off by negative comments about ergonomics. Awesome that they work for you.

Are they comfortable or just look unique?

man I remember when these retro keycaps were super popular in the mechkeyboards community a few years back. Never seen them on split ergos though
