I had one for a while. They take a little getting used to, but it's not that bad. I eventually went back to a 75% for a couple reasons:

  1. They aren't a true split keyboard, which means that the distance between the sides and the angles are all fixed. Maybe that just happens to coincide with the right position for you, but it wasn't enough for me, so it wasn't any more ergonomic than a normal keyboard.
  2. They are very large for the number of keys they have.
  3. Certain keyboard shortcuts, or just specific keybinds in games, are annoying to execute on account of the split.
  4. It's harder, or at least usually more expensive, to find keycaps. You'll also need more stabs, which is more expensive and more annoying to lube.

So they're not bad and if you just like them, that's fine. But aside from preference, there's not really anything better about them.

I bought mine used, so don't take this as gospel or anything. First pair I got on eBay and they had horrendous imbalance and it wasn't even consistent. However, they have a pretty nice warranty and it is transferrable. Problem is the seller wasn't the original owner and didn't have the original receipt, so I just returned them instead. Bought a second used pair on FB Marketplace, this time from someone who could provide the receipt, and they have been just fine. Absolutely love them.

Yup, such is life with a big head. Although Sennheisers are pretty hit or miss for me because the cups don't swivel out at the top, so YMMV. Fortunately, most audiophile headphones that aren't Beyerdynamics get big enough for me.
