    Finding a good keyboard or keyboard that works for you is like finding a good lover. It's a tedious process. But after many tries, you eventually end up with one which you will love, and that's so rewarding with every press you make. After becoming a keyboard supplier for my whole family I want to point out that your lover doesn't have to be the most expensive one or the shiniest one. In general key feedback, keycaps' shape, and layout matters the most.

    Been waiting for this one! I ended up switching to the MX Keys on my gaming desktop, away from several mechanical keyboards with various switches (red, blue, brown). I realized that I just really preferred the typing experience on my MacBook Pro (the 2020 13" with scissor keys, not the butterfly ones), and the MX Keys seemed like the closest alternative. I just can't seem to type as fast or accurately on a mechanical keyboard - too much travel.

    Software Engineer for 20 years here. I find switching keyboards every few months helps me manage any pain. My theory is it "works out" different areas of your hands. My favorite mouse is the Kensington Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring. So much better than a regular mouse or a trackpad, especially when dealing with dual ultrawide screens.

You just need to turn off lights when stay far. Press FN+Light button to turn off and same when you back to your desk. No legs, no time out or sim to again.

    I recently got the GMMK TKL, I have arthritis and my membrane logitech was getting painful to use specially in the mornings, since my problem was typing the key and not hand posture I tried going for a standard mech instead of ergo.
    I also knew clicky swtiches weren't my thing thanks to my SO keyboard but I still wasn't sure to go with linear or tactile. That's why I chose a hotswappable keyboard, so I can switch the switches if needed. For now I went with red gaterons and I'm pretty happy, morning typing pain is nearly gone since they are really smooth and they are silent enough I wouldn't be affraid to use it in the office or while I'm sharing home office with my SO.
    I went TKL since I wanted to have my hands nearer that with a numpad in the right and didn't want to depend on layers since on flare ups I can't keep keys pressed for too long. And I chose GMMK because I wanted it to be ISO. I also bought Glorious Keycaps because they have ISO-ES layout available and it's a pain finding it elsewhere.
    I'm not a RGB lover, so I configured the still backlight at minimum brightness in white for easier legend reading.
    As Mayuko I slightly dipped my toes in the MK rabbit hole for investigation but tried not going further because I have enough expensive hobbies in my life xD

    Thanks for honest reviews from the perspective of someone who has one foot in the mechanical keyboard world. I had my concerns as well when I was trying to look for something that would suit my needs and environment. I ended up with the Filco Majestouch Ninja TKL in blues switches and then Leopold FC980C Topre 45g switches. Both are opposite extremes for me. I got both to suit two different environments. I used the Leopold for work where sound is an issue and the Filco for home where I can be as clickety clacky as much as I want.
    I too didn't want to go into the mechanical keyboard world too much as well cause I would end up selling everything else, lol.

    I have the same Kinesis Gaming keyboard but with the Cherry MX brown switches. I have been using Kinesis keyboards for over a decade and when they started offering Cherry switches it was awesome. They feel so much better than rubber dome mush. Ulnar deviation that leads to carpal tunnel syndrome and other RSI injuries is a real concern for programmers. I have seen many people go down from these injuries. Having the keyboard tented is huge. I have been programming for around 20 years and from my experience the most important gear has been a quality keyboard and a good fitting quality chair. Don't be afraid to spend money on a real HM chair. Without a quality chair, fancy keyboards are not worth their weight. If you are standing and typing for a profession, it is even worse. You made solid recommendations and thank you for the great videos.

    For everyone wondering, the small and low profile keys of the Logitech MX Keys are not as comfortable and well suited for typing as other higher traveling mechanical switches, actually to the point where it makes my fingers hurt after more than 20-30 min of programming.

    If you haven't tried the tent kit for the Kinesis, you should--it feels really nice.
    I have the same base model with the brown switches and it was also too loud for an office environment--and was even getting picked up on calls at home until I put silicone rings on the key caps. Since then, no issues--but then I haven't been back to the office with it.
    Regardless, if anyone is considering the Freestyle Edge: Get the tent kit. I tried not using it initially, and it's just so much better with it on. Yes, it's a bit of a mess on the desktop, but the utility and comfort is tough to beat. Use silicone rings if noise is a concern; I like the way they sound and feel, YMMV.

    I got the Kinesis Gaming keyboard and it's the best keyboard I've ever owned.
    Sure, it's a medium-sized keyboard, but you can just move them apart to get your desk space if needed. The wire length is also adjustable. All keys are programmable so you can disable the CAPS key, the left macro buttons are easy to use, and it all lives in the keyboard's built-in storage. I always recommend brown keys if you don't know which keys to pick.

    Hey mayuko! I was inspired by your ergonomic video to get a split keyboard but couldn't help but notice there was only one split keyboard listed in this video. After researching, I decided to go with Dygma Raise and I love it! Have you heard of it? It seems like they are a smaller/newer company. The keyboard is feature rich with a fairly minimal learning curve. It is wired and RGB backlit which I know you aren't into. However, the RBG isn't just for aesthetic and actually serves a function which I appreciate as an engineer.

    Been eyeing the Keychron K2 for a while now. Glad to hear about your experience on it and I think I'll wait for the Bluetooth connection to be more reliable. 😅
    One humble keyboard that I think needs mentioning is the Logitech K380. I love really love how small and simple it is.

    I have k2 Version 2 variant and believe me connecting via Bluetooth and switching between Mac PC and mobile is less than a second job for me.. if you are looking for keychrone I would highly recommend buying or getting version 2 variant. I have hot swappable brown key board which also gives me to change key caps in case necessary.. just a thought and update

    I have the MX Keys and MX Master and I really like its low profile and multisystem capability. As a programmer and not a gamer, it's good to hear that others like it, too, especially with all the hype about mechanical keyboards. Mechanical keyboards remind me of the original keyboards that came out with the original PC's that I never liked back then. So I have not ever tried the latest mechanical kbs. I might be missing out, but then again, I like the low profile of the MX. Not sure I would like a keyboard that requires more effort from my fingers to use. 😊

      @@cindykee3719 Nope. I personally grew up with chiclet keyboards since I owned alot of laptops so I prefer chiclet style keyboards with a small travel distance. I hate how clunky and thick mechanical board keycaps are. And even the "low profile" ones are too thick for my liking. I don't see the appeal to it lol. On top of that, I like that I can swipe my hand across the MX keys since the keys are even. I own several mechanical boards but rarely use them.

    Mechanical keyboards were too loud in the office no matter what cherry color I bought (obviously pre-covid).
    I finally landed on Zilent V2 Switches and IMHO they're amazing!! ...Because they are silent AND tactile. Those two are really hard to come by. Silent AND tactile.
    Great for coding because they're quiet or for gaming or whatever. Awesome.

    I think it's much more easy to switch from flat to ergo than from ergo to flat. After using Sculpt for like a 6 years i can't use regular or laptop keyboards and i can't understand how do people do not brake their hands on the flat one. :) Split keebs foreva'! :D
