> It was after the Matias keyboard became so expensive, and I was broke.

I was once emailing with a customer and saw their email signature included apologies for typos, on account of a broken bone/arm/shoulder. As the customer lived nearby, I asked if by chance he had broken his right side, but could use a Matias left-handed keyboard I had laying around (from the days when it was cheap). I loaned it to him for the rest of the semester. I hope to loan it out again someday, to someone else in need!
