Sadly you are right ^^ A couple months back I built myself a Lily58 from splitkb.com. (however those are only split and you'll have to tinker and further customize it yourself to implement negative tilt and tenting) It was my first soldering job, so a few of the keys suffer from cold joints, thus recently one stopped working, haven't gotten around to fixing that yet, since I use the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard most of the time anyway. :laugh:

Do you like your keyboard for coding? -
Do you like your keyboard for coding?Let me preface this post by stating the following: Conventional keyboards do not follow the anatomy of the human body. Short backstory: many years ago, due to multiple repetitive stress injuries in my wrist and elbow (I also do sports and play musical instruments), I switched to ergonomic keyboards (split design, negative tilt and tenting) after having talked to a few orthopedists. I am happy to say that I am now four year injury free :) I am currently using the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard both at home and at work. The keys are nothing to write home about - they are rubber dome, however it'super affordable. I would prefer mechanical switches (I do use an old Razer Orbweaver with mechanical keys + trackball for gaming), however ergonomic keyboards with mechanical keys are usually way overpriced.
