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.
