Did I find some sort of hidden gem or is there a reason the Kinesis boards are so much more well touted? There aren't many reviews online about the Cloud Nine. It actually is designed almost identically to my Microsoft Natural 4000, except it is mechanical and can be fully split. The Cloud Nine has the number pad built in. I figured it's time to step it up and go as ergonomic as possible and might as well go mechanical as well since I do like the feedback.īesides the need to buy the lifters separately, I also did not like that the Kinesis does not have a number pad (or, it does, but also purchased separately). A couple keys have stopped working and it's been my workhorse for over eight years. For years now, I've used a Microsoft Natural 4000 keyboard, but I've heard bad things about the recent iterations of it. But I'm otherwise on Reddit a lot or just general web browsing and so an ergonomic mouse is actually much more important. At home, I'll write some emails and sometimes will need to write a multi-page report that will take me a few hours a day for a few days. But it does not compare the experience to the Kinesis directly.įor reference, I sort of intermittently type thoughout the day at work. Even doing a search on this subreddit, only one post comes up regarding it and it's actually a very positive post (And very recent as well). But until now, I've never seen that name come up when researching ergonomic mechanical keyboards. Just happened to see the Cloud Nine C989M on Newegg today and it looked like everything I wanted in the Kinesis Freestyle Pro and perhaps even a bit more. I was pretty much set on a Kinesis Freestyle Pro, but was sort of put off that, even at that premium price, they made you buy the lifters separately. I've spent quite a few hours searching online regarding mechanical keyboards and the same few would always come up.

Any "What keyboard/switch should I buy?" questions should be posted in the Sticky at top of the page. Please Check The Wiki AND SEARCH Before SelfPosting.

The goal of this subreddit is to provide daily links to interesting mechanical keyboard content in a friendly, loosely moderated setting.
