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)?

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