Your beginner keyboard and regret buying that? (lemmy.world)

What was your beginner keyboard and which keyboard are you using now? It seems, that a lot of people tend to prefer smaller keyboards with layers. I myself am a bit intimidated by them, and would much prefer a somewhat more traditional number of keys, like the Lili58 or the Sofel has (as for now, I think I will get a Lili58).

Do you "regret" buying your first keyboard and would have preferred to start directly with your current keyboard (e.g. for saving money), or do you think that your beginner keyboard was necessary/important for you, to get into Spit-Ortho keyboards?

I started off with a Let’s Split and then moved to a BFO-9000 because I wanted more keys so I didn’t have to constantly jump between layers. The BFO-9000 is way too many keys in its default form! A few keyboards later and the Compression 4C is my current favorite. I still use my BFO-9000 from time to time to test out keymap ideas. My takeaway from 5+ years is to get a separate numpad and make sure you can access all the commonly used symbols and Fn keys easily.
