I couldnt find a discussion on this anywhere, so I thought of starting one to hear about your thoughts. I am a VIP backer - but recently, I have been in doubt about the "everyday use" of this board, which makes me considering withdrawing from the project.
Dont get me wrong - I love the concept of hotswap HE and Regular Mx switches. But the ergonomics of the board makes me uneasy, considering this is quite a expensive ans premium product.
Typical boards would range 5 degrees to 7 degrees tilt, while "aggressive" boards would range up to 9 degrees. In this case, the Lofree Hyzen has 12 degree typing angle and > 2cm front height without adjustability options. This means that the Hyzen is significantly steeper than 90% of boards out there in the market.
With the palm rest, I would imagine that it would help reduce the steep angle. However, i dont think it will help much.
It is going to be objectively uncomfortable, as the video reviews show some serious wrist extension.
I wondered why Lofree has chosen to go with this. The design looks great - but why the angle and the steep front height? Surely they could have reduced it while keeping its form factor and design. Its puzzling really.
