My Elytra landed a few days ago and I’ve been using it as my main board at home, coming from a normal TKL. Quick first impressions:

I deal with wrist/tendon pain, so I’ve been looking for something more ergonomic without jumping straight into a layout that feels totally new. That is probably the main thing I like about the Elytra so far. It gives me a real split setup, but it is still row-staggered, has B on both halves, and the low-profile layout made the switch pretty painless.

The fully wireless split was nicer than I expected too. No cable between the halves, cleaner desk, and I can actually place each half where my hands want to be instead of typing on one fixed slab.

Typing feel has been good so far on the silent linear JZF Mist. Solid for a low-profile board, and it doesn’t feel hollow to me. Vial Web was also a big win for setting up a Mac-friendly layer. I really did not want another desktop app just to remap keys.

Not for everyone: it is still a low-profile Choc-style ecosystem, so MX switch/keycap people might bounce. I might miss the right Shift key, but so far I’m happy with it as a portable wireless split that still feels familiar.

Happy to answer questions about typing feel, wireless use, or Vial Web.
