Purpose link h2

My ErgoDox EZ came with some tenting legs, but they suffer from two main problems:

  • They are individually adjusted with thumbscrews, which can be finnicky

  • The maximum tenting may not be as extreme as you might like

With a custom tenting kit, I wanted to build one that’s easily adjustable (one adjustment “move” per side of keyboard), and one that you can easily take the keyboard off of when desired. I chose LEGO because that’s what I had on hand.
