Is there a particular reason you want to stick with Apple gear for your keyboard and mouse? Mac OS is super configurable and will happily let you remap the keys such that Alt becomes Command/Apple and the Windows key becomes Option.
I personally use a Goldtouch for my keyboard and a trusty old Microsoft intellimouse (the white and red ones). Others swear by the Kinesis line of keyboards, particularly as they go one step further in reducing common programming challenges of the Control and Escape keys being hit by your left pinky finger.
- CyberFonic 7y agoKeyboards are a very personal choice. Personally I actually prefer to use the Apple Magic keyboard with my desktop Linux system. You can remap keys easily with system tools. Although my next best preference are mechanical keyboards, i.e. using Cherry key switches.
- boulos 7y agoI should have been clearer. Since the OP is complaining about RSI, I would strongly suggest looking at keyboards designed for that purpose. I definitely agree that people have a lot of personal choice in the area, but it sounds like the OP needs an ergonomic solution.
- troydavis 7y agoI was wondering that too. A keyboard like the Kinesis Freestyle or a competitor is specifically designed to address OP’s post. If it doesn’t work, send it back. Apple’s keyboard may be great but definitely doesn't put one’s wrists in the least-strained position.
