Give any keyboard most of the benefits of a split keyboard by angling your hand/finger columns like `////\\\\` rather than like `\\\\\\\\` (as is commonly taught).
You should be typing "Z" with your ring finger, not pinky. 'WSZ' column, not 'WSX'.
Even the linked "Ultimate Hacking Keyboard" will require a VERY aggressive slanted placement of the left hand segment to give yourself comfortable inward left hand columns. Compare to Microsoft-style split/ergonomic keyboards, which angle `QAZ` inward or vertical.
- triangleman 6y agoHmm, checking this out, the original Natural does not do this, but the newer ones, the 4000 and the Sculpt, do this. Thanks for the tip.

- pkamb 6y agoThose fully vertical layouts are fine, I guess, if you keep your hands pinned to your sides sticking straight forward. And if the keyboard is the exact width of your body. Looks uncomfortable, personally. I prefer to lay my hands out slightly wide on the desk, angled inward. Which exactly matches the slope of `UJM` on any standard keyboard.
