Thinking of trying split keyboards

It depends on what you're doing imo. I'm mostly a gamer and don't type for work or program, and I float touch type, so pretty much all of my issues were solved by the Kinesis Freestyle Edge. Split and tenting and familiar 75% layout retained all the keys I use a lot while letting me put my wrist and

Lily58 vs Keychron Q11

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

Easiest ergo to transition to?

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

Split Row Stagger vs Split Ortho or Column Stagger

I used a Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB+ keyboard (row staggered split) for a couple years and last year switched to a column stagger and I am not looking back. I absolutely LOVED my Freestyle Edge keyboard and honestly was very pleased with it and honestly would have stuck with it if the Kinesis softwa

First Split Keyboard - Silakka54 + BobaU4S

Silakka seems like a nice choice, and as someone else mentioned can be found so cheap on AliExpress that unless you are looking forward to the diy project it might make more sense to buy a presoldered one on Ali. I personally don't like the thumb cluster configuration on the Silakka, but as in switc

SWITCH ADVICE:Upgrading keyboard (to a UHK60), trying to decide between the silent pink vs. box red Kailh switches it offers - looking for advice. I'm coming from a Kinesis Freestyle Edge with Cherry MX Reds. Really like them. No mistyping issues, not too hard on my fingers, fast and smooth. (I have

For those of you who tried ergo and went back to standard - what went wrong?

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

split mech keyboards for programming - are they worth it ?

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
