[kwlug-disc] Interview with Erez Zukerman about ErgoDox EZ keyboard

[Andrew Sullivan Cant]

Doug,

I have been using an ErogoDox EZ since 2018, and I really like it.

My only complaint is the blank keys. :) I have not customized the 
keyboard layout, so a set of keycaps which just shows all of the 
defaults would be really nice.

In theory I buy custom key caps and replace the blank ones, but I have 
not gotten around to it.

But again, everything else about the keyboard is awesome.
(And I am using it to type this message. :lol: )
