  • I recommend the Ergodox EZ. I’ve been using mine for work for over 6 years, 40 hours a week and it’s still running and typing as good as the day I got it. It’s saved me an unreal amount of wrist and back pain because typing on it feels natural. Ergodox has other keyboards with similar split key setups too so once of those might be more to your liking. Check them out at zsa dot io.

    There’s a bit of a learning curve, but if you’re already a person who types every day at 60-70 WPM or more then it won’t take you long to get used to it. Bonus: the keys can be reprogrammed at the firmware level so that you won’t need specific software to assign keys once it’s set up to your satisfaction.

    I’ve used other mechanical keyboards that have a split setup. I’ve got a CloudNine C959 on my home computer which is decent, but it’s definitely different than the Ergodox. The C9 keyboard is like a regular keyboard that’s split in half whereas the Ergodox is a complete keyboard redesign. Both good but the Ergodox makes typing nearly effortless. Anyway best of luck on your search!
