Hey all, I type all day as many of us do and I've been finding some pain in my wrist and tingling in my fingers lately and want to know the best keyboard I can throw my favorite switches into and try to avoid/mitigate these symptoms. Hoping to keep it under $200 and I've never sodered before but willing to try it if the kits well laid out.

I disagree. I had bad Carpal tunnel. and eventually the pain was moving up my arm and side of face. The M3000 sculpted shape made a huge difference combined with vertical mouse. It is no longer an issue for me. Any keyboard that tents up to put wrist closer to the handshake angle instead of flat and a backward also a backward tilr removes a ton of wrist pressure on the nerve tunnels.

The vertical mouse addition is what finally fixed my shit, I used to have constant carpal pain and am now pain-free less than a year later.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
