whatever you do don't listen to any medically illiterate nerds that say you should buy a flat slab keyboard. those should be illegal imo. if it isn't split/tilted you've just acquired a clacky torture instrument for your wrists. mechanical keyswitches are nearly irrelevant, ergonomic wise, compared to that. so if you're faced with the choice of a non-mechanical split/tilted keyboard like the goldtouch v2 or a mechanical flat slab keyboard pick the first one every time.
You'd probably hate the Logitech MX Keys I use at work
nightmare lmao
somebody at my job has something like this but with a touchpad instead of the numbers.
apparently the company hired an ergonomics specialist to come in and assess every single person and recommend the kind of input device they should use.
i am absolutely incredulous that there is any weird kind of hand or wrist where this is the best thing to use. it looks so incredibly uncomfortable.
I am literally typing this on that exact keyboard at work, lmao.
Thanks for the advice!
