I'd love to get a split keyboard (especially one with a long cable so I can have the two halves shoulder-length apart), but 300 euros for a keyboard is WAAAY too much. Maybe I can somehow repurpose my old (or even current) Das keyboard into a split one.

Depending where you're coming from, 300Euros one time payment can be a steal compared to the time and money you could end up spending at the physiotherapist or chiropractor later in life. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here but I find it ironic that some well paid developers in the western world can justify dropping nearly $1000 every year on the latest handheld social media machine and consider that a worthy investment but when it comes to spending $300 once on something that can help prevent certain health conditions it suddenly can't be justified.

  And I find it ironic that some multibillionaires can justify buying a private jet but when it comes to buying good toothpaste they're suddenly "too poor". I mean, assumptions are great, if you like building straw men. You know almost nothing about me, where I live and how much I make, or how much my phone costs (hint: under $200, once every two years).

    Please don't feel threatened by my comment, I wasn't talking about you or anyone in particular. Like I said, I'm not pointing any fingers and if that's how you understood it, I apologize.

      I don't feel threatened, I just think that the intersection of people who spend $1000 on a phone every year and those who won't spend $300 on a keyboard is very small. Besides, people spend their money on what they want to spend it on, and a $300 keyboard isn't expensive because of the existence of $1000 phones, but because of the existence of $100 keyboards.
