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. ![Long-Form-Pro-Features-Tent-276x186](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/e/6/6e63239da635c82cc495a745f0efe4ef8a387954.webp) ---

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 Moonlander: ![moonlander](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/a/3/aa32135861129cb9a11f7804a5a6c766b6d21669.jpeg) Redox: ![redox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/9/5/59569a981341fe5651beea1678100f1c6bc56018.jpeg) Here’s the github link to the build guide for the Redox if anyone is interested: > **[redox-keyboard/redox at master · mattdibi/redox-keyboard](https://github.com/mattdibi/redox-keyboard/tree/master/redox)** > > Ergonomic split mechanical keyboard.

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: [https://www.etsy.com/listing/1051970911/redox-v1-split-keyboard-pcb-kit?ga\_order=most\_relevant&ga\_search\_type=all&ga\_view\_type=gallery&ga\_search\_query=redsox+keyboard+case&ref=sr\_gallery-1-3&frs=1&sts=1&organic\_search\_click=1](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1051970911/redox-v1-split-keyboard-pcb-kit?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=redsox+keyboard+case&ref=sr_gallery-1-3&frs=1&sts=1&organic_search_click=1)
