Interesting... 6 years ago or so I tried the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (one their split models) at work and after some struggle abandoned it for a more traditional mechanical keyboard. Today I pulled it out of the drawer it was sitting in and gave it a go just because I was bored. Weirdly, I find it a lot more comfortable than I remember and the layout doesn't give me as much of a headache. I don't like how the key press feels, but that's kind of minor.
Maybe I should look into ergonomic keyboards again
@bemyak@lor.sh I looked it up and got terrified Straight into the deep end, huh?
@me It's the keyboard that makes the most sense (at least for me) 🤷♂️
I get RSI when pressing the left shift and ctrl too much, and the huge thumb cluster is a life savior, I've remapped all modifier keys there. Now I have pain only when meetings run for too long and I'm forced to use a laptop.
It took about two weeks to get productive again after the switch, but I'm never going back, it's so comfortable 😅
