I suffered from hand pain, and solved it with a mechanical keyboard. With a decent mechanical keyboard (I use ones with Cherry switches - blue and red), you don't have to bottom out they keys to get them to register a keystroke.

Getting rid of this shock makes my hands pain free, whereas if I have to move back to a membrane style keyboard, my hands start to ache after a few minutes of typing.

It's an incremental step in a positive direction, at about 1/3rd the cost of a Kenesis, and without the odd key layout the Kenesis imposes.



What brand/model are you using?


Both a Das Keyboard with cherry blues for work, and a Rosewill with cherry reds for play.
