Freestyle Edge RGB Plus Split Mechanical Keyboard

This subreddit isn't too interested in the kind of boards you are listing, so you might not get a lot of valuable advice here. If you were to say that you were considering Corne, Sofle, Totem, ZSA Voyager, Kinesis Freestyle EDGE, Keychron Q11 or other fully split boards that are approximate 60% or l

Going to a full split keyboard where you can adjust how far apart your hands are is the right way to go! NocFree Lite/&, Keychron Q11, Keeb.io's Sinc/Quefrency, Epomaker Split65/Split70, GMK70, Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB+ (skip the Freestyle 2), Royal Kludge RKS70, UHK, Dygma Raise 2, and there are

I fully agree with u/Scatterthought that something like the q11 would be the easiest transition. my first split keyboard was a kinesis freestyle edge, relatively similar to the keychron q11, and i was very happy i went with it for a couple of years. at least for me the biggest ergo benefit was the s

Oh god don't get me started on this rabbit hole 😂 I went through the exact same frustration last year and ended up spending way too much time researching split boards. The real problem is that most manufacturers treat "ergonomic" and "full-size with numpad" like they're mutually exclusive concepts,

I was in a similar spot a couple years ago and I got a Kinesis freestyle edge, which is somewhat similar to the Q11 in terms of layout and number of keys. It solved my minor pain permanently. There was a small learning curve (1-2 weeks) but it didn’t slow me down too much at the time. No learning ho

On why ergonomic was so expensive (Kinesis, etc)... some comes from the medical devices market. For insurance to pay for something they wanted it professional, and if insurance is covering things then the end user doesn't and the manufacturer can charge more. And used to be that if something was not

I used Kinesis Freestyle Edge, UHK60v2, Dygma Defy and Dygma Raise 2 with my Mac. Kinesis was definitely the worst of them. It's an OK keyboard overall, it just doesn't offer a lot of benefits compared to a non-split keyboard except for, well, being a split keyboard. And its software is horrendous.

If you want to go the column stagger route, it will take several weeks to months to get fully proficient with it, but overall it is superior in the long run, but not everyone is ready for that leap. The column staggered options is what almost everyone here in the comments is mentioning - I think Sof

I don't type correctly to begin with. My pinkies aren't overloaded and don't hurt to begin with because I literally don't use them for anything but shift, tab, enter, and backspace while typing and when I'm gaming the tab/caps/shift/ctrl keys are already in a column. I kind of float type where I jus

Go split for sure! The biggest ergo benefit is the split aspect and you can just get a row-staggered split like NocFree, Q11, Sinc/Quefrency, Epomaker Split65/Split70, GMK70 or other similar. If you want an easy on-ramp to splits do this. You might also research the column-stagger options such as Co
