TypeMatrix 2030 vs WASD V2

The matrix layout reduces the travel distance of fingers. The keys feature membrane switches with double-scissor substrate, which are quite comfortable and very quiet.

This keyboard has a small footprint, only 324 by 133 mm. This not only leaves more room on the desk, but also and mainly reduces the lateral travel distance of the right hand to grab the mouse. It still offers a good numeric keypad thanks to the matrix layout.

Numerous skins are available, making it simple to keep the keyboard clean and even quieter. They also allow for multiple layouts.

This keyboard's matrix layout allows for increased typing accuracy. It gets rid of the typewriter keyboard legacy in favor of a more logical layout.

These layouts are not easy to find, especially the first one. While they don't necessarily increase the typing speed, they greatly reduce the travel distance of the fingers, and have a much better distribution of the keys than regular AZERTY or QWERTY layouts.

This keyboard is greatly customizable. Things like layout, keycaps, home button or switches, can all be modified.

It has DIP switches that can be used to implement settings like changing the layout to Colemak or Dvorak, swapping the function keys to be like on a Mac or disabling the menu functions.

This thing is built like a brick. You can use it for years without any issue.

For those of who type all the time on Colemak, it is nice to have keycaps that match. It is especially nice for those just trying to switch.
