I really didn't enjoy the cheap plastic construction of the Moonlander. I had two of them for home and work. I even modded a mousepad onto the wristrests to make it more comftable.
But in the end the housing being out of plastic, it creaked, wobbled and just was not satisfying to type on.
I came from premium mechnical keyboards with solid steel or aluminum construction.
I ended up with the Neo Ergo, a middle ground. Not as ergonomic, but solid feel, no plastic and great looks too.
Yea I used the kinesis 360 for a short time but couldn't stand how cheap it felt. Such a big difference from nicer custom keyboards, and it's essentially the same price which is a shame.
A custom one is worth it in my opinion. Mine feels quite nice. Not 100% of a gasket mount heavy keyboard, but pretty darn close. Took a while to find the switches that worked for me, but I love it. Also, I have lots of sound deadening in it that help make it feel and sound more solid.
But yeah, the stock browns are pretty bad and the plasticky case doesn't sound great stock.
What switches did you end up on? I've tried a bunch, but yet to find my "end game" switch so to say
