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

    Soldiering cherry switches onto a pcb is fairly easy and a good entry point to learn soldering if you are inclined that way.

      Seconded. OP, I built an Iris recently and it was my first time soldering anything if you have any questions. Very doable.
