Hello all. I see a lot of programmers, data admin and the likes here. Anyone have a favorite ergonomic keyboard? My hands are KILLING me at work, so I’m looking to finally get an ergo set up. Anyone have experience with a Kinesis Advantage 360? They look PERFECT. My goal is an ergo keyboard, trackball mouse and a standing desk. I have the mouse down. If the Kinesis has good quality then I MAY be able to convince the boss man to let me get one. Otherwise, like every single other tool for my job, I’ll be buying it on my own.

My daily driver at home is an Ergodox EZ. I love it. I have a Kinesis Advantage (not 360) and its ergonomics are great; I mostly don’t like how much desk space it takes up.
I’ve mentioned a few times on the forum that the vast majority of my wrist pain was addressed by fixing my posture, not by a fancier keyboard. A standing desk did help with that, but these days I can sit in any well adjusted office chair with the tilt locked vertical and I’ll be fine.

I use the Kinesis Freestyle Pro with a lift kit so I can tent each side. It’s been my “go to” keyboard for years.

I perform IT and generally order the k860 and pair it with an mx vertical or master
The most interesting to me though is the ZSA Moonlander in terms of quality.

I don’t own a ZSA Moonlander, but its design inspired me to look into building my own Redox keyboard

Here’s the github link to the build guide for the Redox if anyone is interested:

I’m still building mine, but I got most of my parts from this very helpful Etsy seller named “Beekeeb”.
As for the case of my Redox I’m having a friend 3D print it for me I’m just paying for filament.
All in all if you already got the soldering gear, I spent about $60 bucks on parts and plastic.
Here is link to the PCB kit I bought:
