I've recently upgraded:

• 60% Vortex Pok3r with clear switches
• 80% Input Club K-type with brown switches

My Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard isn't that impressive but I found if you develop pain from an intense day of typing it might be worth something other then the standard keyboard configuration.

I was just testing some keyboards and I didn't have a huge difference in typing speed as I measured it, but it was more about the length of time I could type before my fingers were tired. Plugging along at around 60-80wpm (depends what I'm typing) for a while eventually my little pinky fingers give out on a non ergonomic keyboard and they kind of hurt but I have this problem less on an ergonomic keyboard so I'm currently using that.

When programming I typically have more spaces between my typing then my testing because of pausing to think but after an intense day where it's more I know the patterns and just have to put them into the computer (typing most of 8 hours) my little pinky fingers still have issues but it is better then it used to be with a more standard keyboard.

I was using a K95 until now but it started to fail because the cable had to be in an specific angle and decided to buy a TKL keyboard , which it's a Corsair K63 with Cherry MX red.

The benefit o a TKL keyboard is that your right/left hand is much closer to the keyboard so you can be much more agile, apart from saving space in your desktop.

these things are tanks. theyre great for prose and writing code of literally any kind because the keys arent too sensitive to make it easy to spam characters on accident but if youre a fast typer like me, the keys give way enough that you can make the unconscious strokes and movements really effectively and without hand stress

my only problem with them is that theyre loud and typing for a long time can get a little straining on them

Happy Hacking Keyboard and Ergodox.

Currently: Cooler Master QuickFire Stealth Tenkeyless. Cherry MX Brown switches.

I recently (as in just put in by drawer a few minutes ago) tried the Kinesis Advantage 2 as I started having pain from my thumbs rolling under my palm to access the Command key about a thousand times a day.

I knew there would be an adjustment period and I dedicated myself to basically relearning how to touch type with the Advantage. I finally got to where I could code without stumbling around.

But the special keys (command, alt/option, and control) were in just too weird of a spot. I use these keys A LOT in coding and some of the combinations were just too weird, e.g. Command+Control+Up in Xcode goes between the header/implementation/tests of a file in Objective-C.

That's just one example, but relearning a dozen other commands that I can intuitively on a "normal" qwerty keyboard was just too much.

Instead, I'm going to try using my right Command or move my whole left hand when using the left Command key.

At work I use a US version DAS keyboard with Cherry Browns. At home I just use the amazing stock Macbook Pro butterfly switch keyboard (only a little sarcasm here due to the public complaints of the keyboard, although personally, I've never had any sticking issues with it.)

At home and the office: CoolerMaster Quickfire Rapid (tenkeyless) with Cherry MX Brown switches.
For travel: KBParadise V60 Mini with Gateron Blue switches. I couldn't stand the new MacBook Pro keyboard.

The travel one is a 60% layout and it still takes me a while each time to remember all of the modifier combos.

I have nearly the same keyboard: CoolerMaster Quickfire with Cherry MX Brown switches, but I went for the Stealth so the labels won't wear off.

I use the WASD CODE with Cherry MX Blue switches (coworkers don't mind the noise... or at least they never say they do :) ) and blank color-coded keycaps - separating letters and numbers from special characters and other keys.

Using a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard like @rhymes and @jess at work, and a Kinesis Freestyle 2 for Mac at home. Both are great and have definitely helped my wrist pain.

I use Anne Pro with Gateron blue switches at work, Fnatic Gear Rush with Cherry MX blues (you can see a pattern here) at home (I use it mostly for gaming, occasionally for coding). I started using mechanical keyboards few years ago, I don't think I can go back to regular (rubber dome) keyboards, still looking for something better than my Anne Pro (not that it's really bad, but I have some small issues with it).
