Dactyl and Dactyl Manuform keyboards, built to order. Wrist rests aren't really the answer either as it's just trading one problem for another.
I saw this comparison[1] a while back, but not knowing what worked best (rather than looked prettiest) I still have the cheap DSA set.DCS is a concave profile, and you can easily get at least a blank keycap set in this profile for the Ergodox. Dactyl & Dactyl Manuform Keycaps. I switched to a vertical mouse and that pain went away immediately.Why a mouse though? On a dactyl, the thumb cluster curves up towards you. The switches are great but very few keycap options; the official ones make it not that quiet since they're not a perfect fit with the keys and thus rattle. (One handed soldering? Layout/color Add to cart Keycaps for Dactyl and Dactyl Manuforms. I switched to a kinesis advantage immediately after and have loved it to death since.If you put non-flat keycaps on the ergodox (especially if the further rows have extra-tall keycaps) it gets a lot nicer to use.
It’s small and convenient when I need a quick spare but I can’t type on it for long.- Corne: You usually have to solder it yourself, and source the switches/caps. Yet their keyboards still look pretty much like a 19th-century Remington.I would bet that if they dropped the staggered rows they would by followed by the rest of the industry in heartbeat.You are holding your forearms at an angle. For the ones that are harder to hit I map stuff that I don't usually use often while typing like the escape key.I'm working building a Dactyl manuform. If one were to cannabilize Topre keycaps from an existing keyboard, the printed circuit boards are much harder to design.
(The Ergodox thumb section is uncomfortable for many people’s hands in large part because Dox was closely copying the Kinesis.

But to have something working right now, I bought the Kinesis Freestyle2, which is available for macOS and Windows, with a Bluetooth version to boot.eAbout a year ago I bought half of a Nyquist (6x5 - 5 is standard height minus the F-row, which is not a big deal since you have a second layer) and a Vieterbi (7x5). On the manuform, the thumb cluster curves away from you. I have also used an Iris for a while and like it a lot, but it looks like they're backordered for now. Customizing my keyboard was a trick, to get my nose back in the kibble bowl. My aspirational keyboard is a GergoPlex. A different modifier key could be a lock for that layer.Pressing two adjacent keys simultaneously (e.g. This is a pre-built, hand-wired Dactyl or Dactyl Manuform.
Another big mistake is using the default layout, part of the draw of a small layout is that you can customize the layers to your needs. Generates openSCAD 3D files: The original Dactyl and Manuform scripts lack commenting, are hard to understand and lack some cool features.For those who haven't explored ergonomic keyboards, 1) you should! Rather than twisting your wrists to face the keyboard straight on, let them angle inward naturally. However, they sold out of the initial run and they are supposedly going to be releasing a new revision soon.Using a similar approach (before that website existed), I decided on an Ergodash[2], which I bought as a kit, but is also available assembled.

In my experience the difference is pretty noticeable. It also helps a lot to steeply “tent” the two sides, and experiment with their 3D orientation and position.What keycap profile would you recommend? And got the most ergonomic keyboard I could imagine.
What is this? It's a realm where we all can be Thomas Edison.Your results may vary, but many people conclude that the feel of Topre rubber dome switches is vastly superior to any of the hundreds of mechanical switches now available.

Please try again.
SA is sculpted, and DSA is uniform. I’ve always liked small keyboards.it isn't, though proponents will argue that the small size means you move your hands/fingers lessI built a crkbd using a PCB I bought from littlekeyboards.Ok, gboards are something straight out of Snow Crash.
