Hey there,

I've been doing a lot of typing lately on my shitty old Compaq keyboard (it has a good build quality, but keys require relatively much force to be pressed) and I experience some discomfort in my fingers.

Would anybody suggest any specific keyboard or keyboard type that would help me ease the strain? I know absolutely nothing about keyboards lol!

I use ErgoDox EZ, and it really helped me with pain. Although my issues were in wrists and elbows, so not really sure if it will help you. But if you are getting a new keyboard anyway, I would highly recommend something with split design like this, it is much better.

This one is freaking cool, but the full package with tilt/tent kit and wing rest costs half of what I paid for my whole PC. 😆

lol yeah you know it's expensive because you have to scroll a mile long landing page until you get to see the price

Yeah, it is crazy expensive. Still think it is worth it, but understand it is a big investment. If you are brave you can build it yourself, it is completely open source.

$354

The lower I scroll the more I want to edit my comment about the pricyness of the keyboard I recomended.
