> I doubt anyone "argues" about keyboards unless they're being forced to use one they don't like.

This!

I was fine with just about any keyboard I had, including random scrap ones I got from various employers whenever I needed one for some reason. The standard 10 bucks models.

Until I got my XPS13 2in1 and the keyboard was so abysmally bad that I had an allergic reaction to it and went all-in on mechanical keyboards. I finally ended up with one of "the really alien-ones": the Let's Tango which is a "hipster ortho" :P

Edit: had pasted the wrong quote :D

I thought Plancks looked neat so I built one and haven’t look back. This will be my 6th year as an ortho-ian.

I've been using a Planck for the past couple of months but after seeing your post I'll have to get a "Let's Tango". Why oh why did I have to see this. I was satisfied.

I am sorry. :D If you like the layout and want to "dip" your feet in, go with a "let's split" first. That's what the tango is based on, but minus the milled case. I used this for a good 18 months until I recently decided to upgrade, realizing that despite my efforts to improve on it, this minimal layout was what stuck with me. I wrote a bit about it here, also made some potato pictures:

This is an amusing response given the parent's comment. You're perfectly happy with what you have, so what's the reason why you're interested in switching now after reading about a different keyboard?
