Software engineering student, noticing wrist pain... Looking for up-to-date suggestions for split ergo keyboards.

I would second this. I have no experience with the epomaker keyboard mentioned but this category row staggered splits sound like a great option for the OP. A couple years ago I went with the Kinesis Freestyle Edge from eBay, and it totally solved my wrist pain. No tenting was needed for me, just hav

Please influence me. To numpad or not to numpad.

Is the keyboard programmable? I recently got a NocFree Lite which is a 65-key. I was worried about the adjustment as I use a numpad often for work, but I reaaally wanted a mechanical, hot-swappable, split keyboard and the NocFree checked so many of my boxes. Thankfully the NocFree is programmable wi

Cheap-ish, user-friendly split keyboard for bedbound use?

No worries at all. The Nocfree Lite is plug-and-play and prebuilt, no soldering or such needed. Though it's a hotswap board, meaning that you can change the switches and keycaps to anything you like. To change the keycaps and switches, you will need some sort of a tool, I personally use something li

Cheap-ish, user-friendly split keyboard for bedbound use?

I just want to add that the NocFree Lite is a great option if the budget can be stretched. I didn't realize that it doesn't need a cable between the halves, so I left it out of my comment since it's more expensive than the Split65 and GMK70. The funky /? key is a dealbreaker for me personally, so I'

Worth switching from Microsoft Sculpt (InCase) to a true split keyboard?

The Sculpt is cool and it is a little better than a regular board but having the ability to position your hands, arms and shoulders in a more comfortable way really happens with a split. Going full “ergo” with the column stagger and thumb clusters is a big jump though and you have to be willing (and

Software engineering student, noticing wrist pain... Looking for up-to-date suggestions for split ergo keyboards.

One consideration that meant to include but forgot is portability. If you plan to throw this keyboard in your backpack and go you might add keyboard size into the feature matrix. My Freestyle Edge with palm wrests somewhat fit in my bag but was pretty bulky and if I was a student packing around my k

Cheap-ish, user-friendly split keyboard for bedbound use?

I personally like the NocFree Lite. I tried putting low profile mx keycaps on them (https://a.co/d/cbM52le looks close to this” on it and the typing experience felt decent enough for me. The one challenge I ran into is that it seems impossible to find low profile space bars with certain dimensions.

What are some moonlander alternatives, but cheaper?

I’ve been eyeing the NocFree Lite myself, it seems like a more budget-friendly split that still has a solid key layout and wireless option.

Old laptop keyboard style

I actually missed that old laptop keyboard feel too light, soft, and super quiet. I switched to the NocFree Lite, and it’s probably the closest I’ve found to that vibe in a mechanical board. The keys feel smooth and low-profile, not harsh or clicky, and it’s quiet enough for late-night typing withou
