I find it strange that people who start caring about ergonomics settle for Ergodox, Moonlander and other halfway there solutions when Kinesis, Glove80, Maltron who have put in real ergonomic research exist..

I’m one of those people. I loved Ergodox, switched to Moonlander but didn’t like it, tried out Voyager and stuck with it.

Voyager is not even a very ergonomic keyboard, but it’s good enough for me, I configured it so that it’s very convenient for me to use, I added some accessories to for better tilt, I’m good - my wrists don’t hurt anymore, and that was my goal

You find it strange that people have preferences? The ultimate ergonomic keyboard is the one that feels good *for you*.

I don't like the Ergodox-style keyboards myself because they're missing a row, and no amount of meta layering is going to convince me otherwise.

Yes, I find it strange that people have this preference.

If you are deep enough into the rabbit hole of ordering a mechanical ergonomically keyboard you are doing yourself a disservice by not ordering an actual ergonomic one. Especially given that the price is virtually the same and r/ErgoMechKeyboards/geekhack(which you will inevitably know exist if you are at this stage) is full of Glove80/Advantage vs Moonlander threads which all say the same thing.
