Keyboard recommendations for programmers?
Keyboard recommendations for programmers?
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'm very happy with my Corne
Corne with Miryoku layout is amazing. So happy with homerow mods.
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.
yes the homerow mods are super cool. I would say the miryoku layout is great but I prefer to use it with qwerty layout. It is a little easier to get used to. It took me about a month to get used to the mod. but maybe I will move to colmak DH next.
In any case corne for the win.
I’m still using it with Qwerty. I don’t really type English at work and a lot of the other layouts aren’t optimized for non-English use. So I’ve decided to just stick with qwerty.
Yep, I've daily driven mine for a few years now, been perfect. No more wrist pain/numbness since. I'm also a vim guy and have had no issue with using the default key bindings.
This is where I jokingly ask if you're a vim guy because you can't exit.
I also use a Corne for programming, but wasn’t a fan of home row mods and developed my own layout:

Ooo gonna check this out. Took me some time, but I looove home row mods once I got used to them. Will check this out!
Corne with Workman keymap helped with my sri
