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

Lily58 vs Keychron Q11
I was in a similar spot a couple years ago and I got a Kinesis freestyle edge, which is somewhat similar to the Q11 in terms of layout and number of keys. It solved my minor pain permanently. There was a small learning curve (1-2 weeks) but it didn’t slow me down too much at the time. No learning ho

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

SWITCH ADVICE:Upgrading keyboard (to a UHK60), trying to decide between the silent pink vs. box red Kailh switches it offers - looking for advice. I'm coming from a Kinesis Freestyle Edge with Cherry MX Reds. Really like them. No mistyping issues, not too hard on my fingers, fast and smooth. (I have

Glove80 and Excel?

Why Mac users love the Mac keyboard
For the type of keyboard that it is, Apple's keyboards are pretty good. The Macbook Pro's keyboard is above average. But on the desktop, my current favorite board is the Kinesis Freestyle Edge - split mechanical; the Brown and Blue switches are both good.

Alternative keyboard recs?
Ugh yeah, i've been there with the hand and shoulder pain from typing all day. Honestly, what fixed it for me was switching to a more ergonomic keyboard. I'd probably go with something like the Kinesis Freestyle Edge or the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard. They're both split keyboards that let y
