I’m just a newb when it comes to high grade keyboards, but these things look wild, and I kind of want to try one.

    I’m of the firm opinion that the best keyboard layout and type is the one you feel most comfortable with.

    But then I’m also of that opinion when it comes to things like desktop OSes, phone brands, etc.

    It’s not a popular opinion.

      Unfortunately what you are most comfortable could also cause repetitive stress injury like carpal tunnel. I have a brother in law who damaged his nerves because a Macpmus keyboard felt best to him.

        I’ve been typing pretty much every day since I was 6 and got my brother’s old Apple ][+. I’m 47 now and still no carpal tunnel.

          I’ve been using a computer on an almost daily basis for over a decade now, and before that I used one whenever I had the opportunity because I’ve loved computers since I was a kid. I’m 30 and have carpal tunnel in my mouse hand, not bad enough to get it surgically fixed, but I wear a wrist brace pretty much 24/7 at this point to keep the pain under control.

          That said I agree with your point about using whatever you’re comfortable with completely, just wanted to throw my own anecdotal experience out there for others to see. Everyone’s different and what’s fine for you or me may not be for others.

      I agree with you when it comes to ergonomics. When it comes to software… Not so much. You do you though! No shade.
