Keyboard that would help avoid fingers strain (lemmygrad.ml)

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!

Kinesis advantage if you just want to buy it and be good or something like a dactyl manuform if you're interested in a more diy route (although lots of folks sell them prebuilt too)

And switch to a better layout like colemak dh mod or something (basically anything is better than qwerty, past that you get into diminishing returns)

$369

I'll never afford that.

Thanks. Do you mean Kinesis Advantage or the Kinesis Advantage 360 (the split one)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

either one, I've mainly heard tons of good things about the advantage, but I'm sure the 360 is good too
