Unsure about which keyboard to get

This subreddit isn't too interested in the kind of boards you are listing, so you might not get a lot of valuable advice here. If you were to say that you were considering Corne, Sofle, Totem, ZSA Voyager, Kinesis Freestyle EDGE, Keychron Q11 or other fully split boards that are approximate 60% or l

Looking for suggestions for shoulder and wrist pain

Going to a full split keyboard where you can adjust how far apart your hands are is the right way to go! NocFree Lite/&, Keychron Q11, Keeb.io's Sinc/Quefrency, Epomaker Split65/Split70, GMK70, Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB+ (skip the Freestyle 2), Royal Kludge RKS70, UHK, Dygma Raise 2, and there are

First ErgoMech Rec?

If your goal is to get keyboard that provides some legit ergonomic value skip Alice layout boards and other one-piece keyboards like mWave, etc... just get a full split. Here are a couple row-staggered split options: NocFree Lite/&, Keychron Q11, Keeb.io's Sinc/Quefrency, Epomaker Split65/Split70, G

Easiest ergo to transition to?

I fully agree with u/Scatterthought that something like the q11 would be the easiest transition. my first split keyboard was a kinesis freestyle edge, relatively similar to the keychron q11, and i was very happy i went with it for a couple of years. at least for me the biggest ergo benefit was the s

Thinking of trying split keyboards

It depends on what you're doing imo. I'm mostly a gamer and don't type for work or program, and I float touch type, so pretty much all of my issues were solved by the Kinesis Freestyle Edge. Split and tenting and familiar 75% layout retained all the keys I use a lot while letting me put my wrist and

How did you get into this obsession?

As for many, my hands and wrists hurt, and I could tell that my keyboard (and mouse) were contributing. I’m a hazardous waste inspector, so I’m writing reports and using Excel mostly. I game at home, too, and sometimes make music. I started with a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard four or so years ago, t

Why Do Split Keyboards Gotta be so Expensive?

On why ergonomic was so expensive (Kinesis, etc)... some comes from the medical devices market. For insurance to pay for something they wanted it professional, and if insurance is covering things then the end user doesn't and the manufacturer can charge more. And used to be that if something was not

Has anyone made a switch back from split?

There are plenty that have tried ergo column stagger splits and decided they didn't like them. I highly recommend a row staggered split instead of Alice. NocFree Lite, NocFree &, Epomaker Split65 and Split70, Zuoya GMK70, Keeb.io's Quefrency and Sinc, Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB+, UHK, and even more

Split Row Stagger vs Split Ortho or Column Stagger

I used a Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB+ keyboard (row staggered split) for a couple years and last year switched to a column stagger and I am not looking back. I absolutely LOVED my Freestyle Edge keyboard and honestly was very pleased with it and honestly would have stuck with it if the Kinesis softwa

First Split Keyboard - Silakka54 + BobaU4S

Silakka seems like a nice choice, and as someone else mentioned can be found so cheap on AliExpress that unless you are looking forward to the diy project it might make more sense to buy a presoldered one on Ali. I personally don't like the thumb cluster configuration on the Silakka, but as in switc
