My quest for the perfect keyboard continues… In early 2019 I got the Ergodox EZ, then I tried the Dygma Raise but went back to the Ergodox.

Onto my third ergonomic keyboard: the Zergotech Freedom. The philosophy behind this keyboard is to give as much ergonomic benefits to its users while minimizing the learning curve of a new design. I was intrigued.

First Impressions

I’m writing this part of the review literally less than an hour after receiving the Zergotech Freedom.

My first impressions are very good. The sliding palm rests feel great and the overall build quality is over my expectations.

I’m already comfortable typing, except for the ‘mouse’ key which I keep hitting when I want to type the ’n’ key… Bottom line: the learning curve feels pretty gentle so far. And Keycortex, the built-in configurator, is more self-explanatory than I expected.

Enough first impressions, the rest of this article is written after 3 weeks of daily use. (I’m now much better at typing ‘n’.)
