I thought the layout is pretty good ergonomically. It takes a while to get used to but the killer is that it is impossible to switch back and forth between this on the desktop, a laptop or a regular keyboard at work. Don't even think about it.
The quality of the key switches they used is pitiful . I started having key contact problem with 1 switch after a month, have to unsolder it and swap with another key in one of those almost never used position. The next month is 2 more keys. And the 3rd month... you can guess the rest. Stopped using it 6months ago and brought it out today just for a test. Half the keys are poor contact now and most of the rest are sticky.
This thing is going into the trash bin. And that was with the Cherry keys. I don't have problem with my Ducky keyboard so if they are using "Cherry" keys, it must be from the reject pile. And now a even cheaper key and a more expansive price? Good luck to anyone buying this.
And customer service is so simple, it just doesn't exist.

chan005Well, I switch between my ErgoDox, TypeMatrix, thinkpad and QFR almost fluently.
The problem with TECK is truly the firmware, not switches. It usually either doesn't register key strokes, or registers them multiple times. The latter was a problem with Noppoo Choc Mini as well, but it's happened on very few other keyboards (TE's claim about how it's a "bug" of Cherry MX switches is a lie). The real issue is a combination of switch debouncing rate and the rate at which firmware checks the keyboard matrix for key presses.
