I realize I'm a little late to this party, but I thought I would try to ask anyway.
As someone who has used what is probably considered a mass market ergo split keyboard for a long time (10+ years), what would be a reasonable new one to try?
This is definitely better than a straight, standard keyboard for me, but it is not really good. The keys require too much activation force. I still have to bend my wrists a lot. Some keys are hard to reach.
What else can I try? I do not have RSI that I know of. I don't have pain. It is just not very good.
Anyway, I don't know if this is enough info for a recommendation.
I'm on my second Mistel Barocco split mechanical keyboard.
First with a MD600 and now the MD770. I only upgraded because I liked the 770 has a full row of function keys and arrows keys making me less reliant on function keys for those extra key presses.
If the keys are too hard to press, you need to get switches that have lower actuation force (I use MX Browns), if you are having issue bending wrists I think you need to find a keyboard that tents well.
