100% agree. I have almost never travelled with my Advantage2 or 360 when I still had them. But the Glove80 is so light that it’s easy to carry with me.

The Advantage helped me a lot, but the Glove80 is the only keyboard I’ve truly loved using. The key well is insanely well-designed and even though the tenting is a bit of work to set up, it is really tailored to my preferred angle.

MoErgo is also expanding the Choc keyboard space with really nice silent switches (Cherry/Plum Blossom) and keycaps.



I mentioned in my comment not liking how flimsy is felt. It is very light and that can be a plus but when I tried traveling with it with tenting setup, often the rods became loose, it formed an awkward shape so didn't fit in the carrying case they provided in the first place, would not sit well in my backpack, and often times I'm not sure why but keys would pop out.

Resetting the tenting up everytime I travel/go somewhere with it is not really convenient at all, so its not really a decent option.

I don't often travel with the 360, but when I do, I just lower it to the lowest level and its never had an issue except for the obvious bulkiness.

Another issue is because its so light, it would often shift around on my desk while typing, and I've seen others complain about this as well. Maybe its just an issue of how hard you type, or how much friction your desk provides.

If I could get a mix between a 360 with the shape of the glove 80's keywell and key setup, but with the sturdiness of the 360 I'd buy it no questions asked.


The tenting is my least favorite part of it. I just put objects under the keyboard to achieve tenting... I plan to use magsafe mounts instead to tent via pocket-size tripods (not actual tripod with shaft but a flat-style one I can't find online at the moment)


I dislike the tenting and often lose them so I just put something under the keyboard halves to tilt them. Later I want to get their mounting kit and just use these tiny pocket tripods I have (can't find the name but they have no rod), or find a good way to put magsafe rings on them to use with other sturdy mini tripods I have.
