So I switched to a low-profile angled keyboard basically identical to this: https://www.amazon.com.au/Perixx-PERIBOARD-805-Wireless-Ergonomic-Bluetooth/dp/B08KJ8JW9Q/ref=asc_df_B08KJ8JW9Q/?tag=googleshopmob-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=463603004336&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15645889703857693714&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071296&hvtargid=pla-1017854421494&psc=1

It’s been quite a few years now, and my RSI type issues have reduced a lot in that time, but I’m not sure it’s really cutting it anymore. Starting to get wrist pains again. So I think it’s time to up my keyboard game, but things get expensive going to the next level and the choices are kind of overwhelming. So I’m just hoping for some recommendations really.

I’m a programmer so that’s an important factor, I don’t want some weird key layout that’s good for typing English but rubbish for programming. But I also don’t really want to spend loads of time fully customising it. But I’m happy to learn a new layout if research or whatever supports it being better.

Well anyway, any thoughts welcome!

    I can’t find a good timing for homerow mods to work. Either it causes letters to show up when I’m trying to use them for mods, or it causes the keypress to go down as a modifier instead of as the key I wanted

      I just used the standard settings that Miryoku comes with. Sure from time to time it miss clicks but it’s maybe 2-3 times over the course of an 8h work day.
