Matias Ergo Pro - Unacceptable Key Switch Failure Rate about awesome-split-keyboards HOT 3 OPEN

I read "Awesome Split Keyboards" as a review. The Matias Ergo Pro is awesome in theory. In practice, it's a terrible keyboard because of the reliability issues. I do not find an expensive keyboard I rely on to be "awesome" if it fails 6 times in two years.

I would just make a strong vote for "Remove Matias Ergo Pro" from the list. Someone trusting this list might get into a situation where their $250 keyboard is worthless to them and out of warranty.

And to keep this thread up-to-date in case someone stumbles onto it, the Keyboard.io keyboards no longer use the key switches that fail constantly in the Matias Ergo Pro. So, they can be declared "awesome"! :)

As someone interested in keyboards, I really appreciate this input.

As a project outsider, I'm not sure how the information can be integrated.

Perhaps reported issues can be linked from the keyboard list.

I can also confirm on the Ergo Pro's failure rate. It's annoying and quite high. I left that keyboard behind years ago and don't recommend it to anyone.

I don't think we should integrate reviews into this repo though. Starts leading to gamification long term.
