I write like 6k words a day and at the end of it the tendons in my arms are sore as hell and my hands are dogshit tired.

I'm looking to snag (build??) as split keyboard and am in need of advice about which ones are the best. I like the Corne/Iris (yeah, I use Vim keybinds in Emacs. Fight me), but have zip experience soldering.

Does anyone here know of a place to snag a prebuilt one of these on the cheap(er)? Like I know of the CHEAP DACTYL but that thing is a bit too crazy even for me.

Help me out here, y'all. I don't wanna get RSI

    So based on the tiny bit of digging I've done, consensus seems to be that keeb.io is a good place to look, and the prices seem surprisingly affordable tbh

      Things tend to be affordable until you start getting into really specialized things like switches or the really hype GMK keycap sets

          Heh. Yeah. I built a contra (cheap Plank clone) not terribly long ago for cheap. I was able to do it for under $100 with Cherry Clear switches and cheap ABS caps from China.

          The next build I do will be a bit more
