A Kinesis Advantage2 (almost 500 dollar in the EU, but read on). I had a flare up of wrist pain again. Decided to invest in a good ergo keyboard. Started with a Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB (pretty good), then Kyria, Ferris Sweep (meh), and then I did what I should have done in the first place: buy a Kinesis Advantage2. It immediately felt great and after some weeks my wrist pain was gone. Concave key wells are just fantastic!

Since then, I also got an Advantage360 Pro (> 500 in the EU) and replaced the controller of the Advantage2 with a KinT [1], so that I can program it with QMK. I can now keep similar configurations between the 2 and the 360 Pro (which uses ZMK).
