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!

    It’s worth really thinking about how many keys you want/need and what layout will work best. For me, the Kyria layout and similar ones are close to optimal, or in keywell, something like the TBK Mini.

    The other thing to be aware of with the Moonlander specifically is that some folks have issues with the ergonomics of its thumb thingy. Unfortunately ergonomics are very personal so it’s hard to tell without trying which ergo setups are best for your hands.
