The story behind Glove80

Thank you for choosing Glove80. Glove80 is not your usual keyboard. It was designed by a

bunch of keyboard warriors for themselves.

We were a small group of I.T. professionals who had various kinds of RSI. Without a good

ergonomic keyboard our careers and quality of life would seriously suffer.

We wanted and needed the most comfortable keyboard.

But nothing available was good enough. Some of us were using Kinesis Advantages. Our

co-designer Chris even made an open-source controller and firmware to improve Kinesis

Advantage.

But we knew we could make a much better keyboard that would be more comfortable for more

of us.

And so we did! In 2014/2015. We had no idea how difficult it would be. Hundreds of variations

and experiments later

, we had finally made the keyboard we were happy with.

We used this keyboard as our daily drivers. For 5 years. We had made it for ourselves and

nobody outside our little group knew about it.

Then in 2021, Stephen, the other co-designer, had a rare opportunity to do something different.

Our friends had been asking us to share this invention with others who need a seriously

comfortable keyboard. Stephen took up this challenge and re-designed Glove80 for

mass-manufacturing. Same ergonomics, but significantly more refined.

Glove80 is a work of love. We hope you will love it too. Thank you for believing in Glove80.
