Hello collective intelligence on #keyboards!
I want to gift myself a proper #ergokeyboard .

I've seen the #keyboard.io 100 and the #zsa Voyager.
Both nice, I would ofc want super-clicky switches, and both can be programmed and flashed via web (as in: Burn The Apps Down).

Needs to be carriable&sturdy

I type for a living, about 90% text but I still like to code. After years of being forced to the _gaming_ aisle for decent hardware, I want something *serious*.

Experiences? Thanks!

Since mid October 2023, noticing I was starting to have more and more #wristPain, which were lasting days instead of hours... I opted to give those fancy #ergonomic #splitKeyboards a chance, and after several research hours, I opted for the #ZSA #Moonlander, there were alternatives, but too far from what I was used to, was unsure and this was my final choice. (also found a good local used deal)

Since I was changing keyboard, why not use also a more ergonomic layout? So, I opted for a #shockTherapy and went with #Dvorak and used this combination ever since! My first days were quite.... a going back to when I was 7 years old, sub 10 wpm XD but after a couple of weeks, typing was not as humiliating as before and my speeds increased :)

From time to time, I recorded my progress on #Monkeytype and these at the bottom are 4 months of data, from a classical full size #qwerty at 110ish wpm to currently 60ish, with a constant increase week after week. I am not in a hurry, as my wrist pain vanished, and that was the final goal.. So I'm okay with half the speed and -95%ish pains :)

Hope this might prove useful to someone that is also considering this #journey or have this kind of #pain ^^

Bruce unexpectedly makes an #AccordionRevolution book sale by rambling way off-topic on the forums for the #ErgoKeyboard I use! ❤️‍🔥🪗

Who knew a #Dygma fan from Finland would read my #bluegrass history joke and buy my #accordion book?

Finland’s Steve 'N' Seagulls old time accordion bluegrass band may give the connection some interesting background? 🤠
