Here’s a recent-ish pic of how I use my moonlander at work. I’ve got some bog standard 24inch (I’m pretty sure, could be 27?) Monitors in portrait mode. I’m not a programmer, but a deal with a bunch of browser windows for work and they happen to tile out really nicely in this configuration.

    Love this! I have a moonlander for my work desk as well. Right now I have it in the flat config, but when my wrists start to hurt I use the satellite stands like that. We almost have the same keycaps as well :) I have the DSA Granite from years and years ago.

        I think it’s a big help. I like being able to get my boards steeper, and it’s also quicker to get setup the way I like compared to leveling out the legs and thumb clusters. The down side is, it’s kinda crazy heavy, haha. It’s solid plates of metal after all. They can make a little bit of noise with how the hing is assembled, but I haven’t had much trouble with that.

        There are other methods for tenting the moonlander, but I don’t think anything can beat the ease of use or how compact the platform is, even if they’re lighter.

        It holds position pretty good? I feel like I remember reading that the first run didn’t feel very solid when it was in position

    That is some steep tenting going on there :-) Like the setup - though I’m more a flat-keyb-type

    I really liked the Moonlander, it was my first ergo split board ; however after a few months with it, I grew to dislike the placement of the thumb cluster: while practical for tenting, and somewhat innovative, even for my biggish hands the nearest key on the thumb cluster is very far and I felt pain in my thumbs after half an hour using it (resting position being homerow+thumb on cluster).
