I'm looking to get one soon, but have no clue about them. Any ones you swear by?

    whatever you do don't listen to any medically illiterate nerds that say you should buy a flat slab keyboard. those should be illegal imo. if it isn't split/tilted you've just acquired a clacky torture instrument for your wrists. mechanical keyswitches are nearly irrelevant, ergonomic wise, compared to that. so if you're faced with the choice of a non-mechanical split/tilted keyboard like the goldtouch v2 or a mechanical flat slab keyboard pick the first one every time.

        somebody at my job has something like this but with a touchpad instead of the numbers.

        apparently the company hired an ergonomics specialist to come in and assess every single person and recommend the kind of input device they should use.

        i am absolutely incredulous that there is any weird kind of hand or wrist where this is the best thing to use. it looks so incredibly uncomfortable.
