I Recently found out that my work has a benefit where they give you a couple hundred dollars to improve your health somehow. Gym, massage, Ergo stuff, ect. I want o put it towards an Ergo Mechanical Keyboard.

I have seen LinusTechTip’s video on the Moonlander and I think it is for me (love the white, ortho linear, and split). But are there other things you folks would recommend that I check out?

Thank you for your time!

    I would suggest trying out as many types as you can get your hands on, literally, before you buy any, because hand sizes and finger lengths differ wildly.

    The one thing keyboards can’t modify is the columnar stagger which, at least for me who seems to apparently have a very short pinky, makes all the difference.

    So I ended up doing exactly what I didn’t want to do when I started a similar journey to yours - I learned how to solder, modify 3d models, and built my own. And, frankly, I think I’m not done, because there are still so many things to learn and get right… 😉
