Hey all!
I've been using a WASD Mechanical Keyboard for about 5 years now and I'm ready for an upgrade.
I want to try an ortholinear ergonomic split keyboard like the ZSA Moonlander or Boardsource Lulu.
They're definitely on the pricier side, but here's what I figure:

I want to try an ortholinear ergonomic split keyboard like the ZSA Moonlander or Boardsource Lulu.
They're definitely on the pricier side, but here's what I figure:
Pros:
- Hand/pain improvements
- More natural shoulder placement
- Potentially my Stream Deck can go in the middle of my keyboard for easier access
- Will take up less space overall than my current keyboard
- I can use my Stream Deck XL in the *middle* of my keyboard to make it more easily accessible
- Giving my right thumb something to do :)
- Have to learn an ortholinear layout will be a learning curve
- Will be weird to change from normal to split if I have to go back and forth
