So I switched to a low-profile angled keyboard basically identical to this: https://www.amazon.com.au/Perixx-PERIBOARD-805-Wireless-Ergonomic-Bluetooth/dp/B08KJ8JW9Q/ref=asc_df_B08KJ8JW9Q/?tag=googleshopmob-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=463603004336&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15645889703857693714&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071296&hvtargid=pla-1017854421494&psc=1
It’s been quite a few years now, and my RSI type issues have reduced a lot in that time, but I’m not sure it’s really cutting it anymore. Starting to get wrist pains again. So I think it’s time to up my keyboard game, but things get expensive going to the next level and the choices are kind of overwhelming. So I’m just hoping for some recommendations really.
I’m a programmer so that’s an important factor, I don’t want some weird key layout that’s good for typing English but rubbish for programming. But I also don’t really want to spend loads of time fully customising it. But I’m happy to learn a new layout if research or whatever supports it being better.
Well anyway, any thoughts welcome!
I've been using the Glove80 for a while now and loving it. Although I'll probably get another one with silent choc switches once those are out.
Personally I'm using Colemak-DH on it, but I've seen a layout on the Glove80 discord that's been optimized for both English and programming called Engrammer.
(This is how the layout is like on a Glove80)
The person who made it is using a Glove80, but it should also be good for other keyboards.
