Hey,

I’m looking for a portable ortholinear for taking to co-working in my backpack.

For context, I’m a coder. I use neovim all day. At home I use a maltron 3d. It’s a fantastic comfortable keyboard (I think kinesis nicked the design?), although it did take getting used to.

It’s the only keyboard I’ve ever been able to touch type on.

So yeah. I’d like to find something similar that is portable. It has to have quiet switches, as it’s a shared office. Any suggestions?

So far I’ve looked at:

Those all look nice, but are too expensive.

How does the ergodox ez hold up these days?

    Ergodox EZ is fantastic, I’ve got zealpc zilents installed in mine for silent tactile. Expensive switches, but I’ve been transplanting them between new keyboards. I got the EZ from a friend when he wanted to go to a moonlander.

      Ergodox

      I’ve been looking for a photo of a ergodox ez and a voyager side-by-side. Trying to figure out how luggable the EZ will be.

      Voyager looks amazingly luggable, but I’m not sure if I can live with so few keys.
