[AusNOG] Keyboards...

[Ruben Schade]

Putting in a good word for split keyboards.

I’ve used an IBM Model M clone (Unicomp), a Cherry MX Brown and a MX 
Blue. All feel fantastic, and prevent you bottoming out with each 
keypress which reduces finger fatigue.

As I approach my 30s though (gulp), I’d started feeling pain in my 
wrists. I swapped out for a new Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic, and haven't 
looked back:

As that character retorted to Ray in Blues Brothers, there’s less action 
in this keyboard compared to the aforementioned ones.

That said, the keys are still a *vast* improvement from the plastic mush 
of their previous split keyboards. They feel like laptop scissor keys, 
but with more depth and stability.

Cheers,
