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 shelled out for a ZSA Moonlander and I can't recommend it under any circumstances. It seems like it was designed by a tech bro, not someone with an understanding of anatomy. I unloaded it on eBay after a few months of worsening wrist pain.

That's interesting. I've been recommended Ergodox EZ from that company - I wonder if it's any better. This one is one of the most expensive options, so it sucks that you had bad experience with it. Thanks for the warning.
