Get a truly ergonomic keyboard. I like the Kinesis Advantage 2 for home, and the Kinesis Freestyle Edge when traveling.

Both are more expensive than the somewhat ergonomic keyboards made by MS or Logitech, but both are well worth it!

Unfortunately, I never found those truly ergonomic keyboards available with a QWERTZ-layout, which isn't just a software problem, since German has four letters more (äÄ, öÖ, üÜ, ß) and those ergonomic QWERTY keyboards never account for this, so the value is diminished.

Both keyboards are programmable, and it's extremely easy to do so with the Freestyle Edge.

You cannot program missing buttons.

On the right side to the '0' and 'P' I need two more buttons, right from the 'L' and the 'M' three. (Also, on the left side of the 'Y' which on QWERTY is a 'Z', I also need another button. Without those buttons in those places all ergonomic advantages will be lost, since I have to remap those buttons somewhere not especially ergonomic.

The buttons in question are btw: ß´ü+öä#,.-< and it would be fantastic if there were even more buttons for stuff like []{}, which I can only reach via ALT GR. Maybe Capslock could make way to two buttons '[' and ']' which then could become '{' and '}' with one modifier key.

I'm on Linux, so I doubt the hardware will be easy to program.

The Kinesis Advantage 2 ist available with a QWERTZ layout (including German umlauts).

Which shop? Couldn't find it on amazon and local stores don't have stuff like this in stock.
