                    @hondanhon If you're doing most of your typing on the LC III, the best ergonomic board I know for ADB is ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-Adjustable-Keyboard-Number-Pad-M1242-w-Cables-1992/233610297478

                  @hondanhon If you're going for really comfortable ergonomics, you want your wrists and arms in a neutral position, which means your wrists should be straight, ideally, your forearms should be shoulder width apart. That calls for a fully split board.

                @hondanhon It can take some time to get up to speed with a new layout. If you're not up for learning how to type again, you may want to consider steering away from boards with keys arranged in columns, rather than rows.

              @hondanhon If you want a "traditionalish" layout but a split, angled layout, you could do much worse than Microsoft's boards. They've spent decades refining a keyboard that's better than a regular layout, but not so weird that it scares people off.

            @hondanhon I really don't go in for "box of chocolates" style ortholinear keyboards. They don't do anything good for wrist positions. If you want something ultra-portable, but still one piece, you might consider a Keyboardio Atreus. (shop.keyboard.io)

          @hondanhon (Yes, I know that the shopify preview is for the wrong keyboard ;)

        @hondanhon If you want something fully split but otherwise "normal", you might look at the Dygma Raise (which runs our firmware), the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard, or the Mistel Barocco.

      @hondanhon I personally can't type on the Ergodox or the Kinesis Advantage. I find their thumb key arrangements painful and uncomfortable. But some people swear by them.

    @hondanhon If you want to solder something together yourself, there are a TON of DIY options out there, but that's a much longer thread.

      @hondanhon And if not for this global pandemic, I'd invite you to check out our library of 100 or so weird keyboards.
