Part of that has to do with the software, which I’ll explain in more detail shortly.
There’s also two keys unique to ZSA built into the Moonlander’s design: Hyper and Meh.
That may sound like homework for your fancy new gadget, but trust me: it’s worth it.
The included carrying case makes it easy to throw this keyboard in your bag and take it on the go.
I needed to spend a significant amount of time (months!)
And that’s great!
It’s especially common when I have the board tented up off the desk.
With wrist rests that fold away and two points of adjustable articulation on each side that allow you to tent them to your comfort, the Moonlander is small and thin but highly adaptable.
This isn’t a huge problem, but I did find it a little frustrating at times.
The price you payon top of the $365 starting priceis a steep learning curve.
The big keys near where your thumb rests are also fully hot-swappable and programmable, though you’ll need 2u keycaps to replace the orange keys and 1.5u keycaps to replace the taller piano keys.
The ZSA Moonlander comes with an easy-to-use key puller for hot-swapping switches.
Without much in the way of grippy feet or serious heft, the Moonlander had a tendency to move around my desk while I typed.
The inner legs on the Moonlander are adjustable so you can tent it off the desk, but be careful to fully loosen them before adjusting—leaving them too tight during adjustment can cause wear and tear that shortens the lifespan of the ‘board.
