I use my moonlander with the thumb clusters pushed all the way up instead of down or 'tented'. However this created some wobble so I bought an extra set of feet from ZSA and installed them on the outside of my board (there's already a screw hole there from factory, just need to take the cover off). I love it! I have small women's hands and no problems at all with my moonlander layout , cluster buttons set to my modifiers and space bar.

If you'll forgive my filthy desk picture, here she is:

I have pretty small hands and found the moonlander way too big. Moved to a skeletyl fromm there. If you need more Keys, have a Look at the sofle v2, which has a more aggressive pinky stagger. Or the keyria.

I find the Moonlander thumb cluster not that easy to reach. I have medium/large hands but relatively inflexible thumbs and use only 2 of the thumb keys. (And one of the bottom row keys as a third thumb key. If you do it that way it is probably not much different than the Iris). Personally, I would like the thumb cluster to be closer to the other keys and/or splayed.

I think it's pretty easy to assign rare operations to the more unreachable parts of the thumb cluster and be fine.

I find that even with my pretty large hands some of the bigger reaches, like left shift to the rightmost column of keys on the left side, can be a bit cumbersome.

Personally I could never find my groove with the moonlander. I used it for about three weeks and couldn't overcome about a 30% reduction in my wpm. Worse though was that I could never get programming to feel really good on it. I acknowledge this has much more to do with me being an old dog that's opposed to new tricks, so I was probably just doing it wrong.

My moonlander has been collecting dust in its box for about three months, which I find to be a shame. Maybe I'll break it out and give it another try.
