    I got a few friends who work in IT like me who have keyboards line these. I wouldn’t last an hour using those for daily programming.

    So far my favorite keyboard for work has been the Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic keyboard. I haven’t had any other keyboard match it’s comfort.

    They discontinued it but Lenovo now has a similar one.

    They’re not very good for gaming though. And the mouse is usually pretty lousy in terms of DPI.

      Oh, the mechanical keyboard hobby has a rabbit hole for damn near every preference you’ve ever idly entertained for even a moment. There’s an antire category of boards “Alice or Arisu” that does a similar split, though only a few have any slope along the left-to-right axis.

      Then here on lemmy there’s [email protected] which is a little corner of the ergo community. They are NOT fucking around with their typing devices.

      So about gaming… A couple weeks ago I had a dream that I was gaming and my friend told me I was playing poorly because of my keyboard so then we got in a fight. I usually use a 65% for gaming but last week someone convinced me I could use the Vault 35 (green one on the bottom left) so I tried it last week. It went okay after I got everything mapped the way I wanted but then at one point I accidentally turned off my gaming layer and the friend who I got in a fight with in the dream started to get annoyed so I pretended my game was messing up. Then I came clean the next day and he said “fuck you”.

      Moral of the story is I’m going to continue gaming on the 35%.
