After five years with the Kinesis Advantage 2, I realized my typing speed used to be faster when I had a traditional keyboard, so I switched to a cheap Redragon keyboard with blue-style switches and I am much happier.

I swapped to an advantage last year after feeling some wrist soreness and cold hands. I type slower, so I type less and more thoughtfully. Not sure if it’s the reduced typing + the ergo that helps, but the soreness has gone away.

I had a Das Keyboard (blank keys to switch between OSX and Windows) that I really liked, and another smaller mechanical keyboard I keep in my garage. They are nice, but you’ve got to be all over the mute button if you want to type / take a note on a call. Again, I rarely type and talk at the same time, so it’s not a big deal.
