Hi all,

New to Lemmy, and new to ergo keyboards. I have been working (programming, writing reports, i.e. typing up to 10hrs a day) on an 13" mac over the last 8 months and I realised that was a bad idea…

I do have a great second monitor and a decent chair but I need to rebuild my workspace, potentially get a moveable desk, and most importantly I’m in the market for an ergonomic keyboard. Where do I start? I would like to go try some out in a shop but I live in Portugal and it doesn’t seem a big thing here, the big tech shops just seem to have some basic models. I have already ordered one of those wrist pads.

Hope this is OK to post here, I found this forum via the deprecated ErgoMechBoards reddit. Tips and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers :)

    The worst thing for me is not being able to try out boards unless a friend has one. Where I live in the US they don’t have them in stores to try out either. Hopefully someone here will be able to help you out. I just jumped in and bought one many years ago and have been happy with the decision, but your mileage may vary.
