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!

    Are you using now a full size keyboard?

    I tried a redox to begin with and lt was too steep as a learning curve. I was already touch typing and with the keys in weird places + no longer be able to use my cheats feom the row stagger was horrible.

    You can get some benefits from switching to a 65% with split space bar to learn how to use layers and so while keeping most of your muscle memory.

    Then start investigating what people use layers for and add a couple to your 65%.

    Finally, once you have mastered that, you can start reducing the number of keys and thunk of switching to a small keyboard.

    Either 42 or 36 keys is what most people end up with (think corne, sweep, etc)

    I did full QWERTY> nibble > choctopus44, and now thinking of something smaller with integrated pointing device
