Since you are specifically asking about split keyboards: I use a Kinesis Freestyle 2 and have done so at work for years. I use regular keyboards at home.
- not really any difficulty in terms of muscle memory remembering how to switch between regular and split keyboard
- it did take me some retraining because before using a split keyboard I had actually typed 6 button with right hand instead of left
- it does make a notable difference in terms of wrist pain after extended usage
Overall, I can recommend it, especially if work is paying for it. I don’t type enough at home to really justify one though as I don’t start getting wrist pain unless I’m at the desk for 6-8 hours.
- facorreia 7y agoI use the Kinesis Freestyle Pro with Cherry MX Brown switches. It's great ergonomically speaking. The hand position is very comfortable, the keys are top quality, and I don't have to move the hand too much to use the mouse. Also, very little re-learning required since the keys are in pretty standard positions. I highly recommend it.
