If you need a keyboard NOW, take a severe look at the Kinesis Advantage 2. It has a learning curve, but it's a small price to pay to have a very comfortable typing experience AND incredible customizability it offers (e.g., macros & hardware-defined key re-mapping). However, don't bother downloading the software as it's not great.
BUT, if you can wait a few months... they have a modern version slated to release this summer.

IMO it fixes most if not all issues I have with it.
- Wireless via Bluetooth
- Ditching USB-A for USB-C
- Split keyboard while retaining its finger ergonomics
- Update styling, which will (hopefully) be much easier to
transport and less of an eye-sore
- Ability to change 'tenting' which should increase
ergonomics
If you end up getting either one, you won't be disappointed. I went from needing to take off work due to wrist pain to no pain at all regardless of time. It was well worth the $350.
- johnm 5y agoI've worn out multiple of them over many many years of using the Kinesis Advantage (and then Advantage 2) (before I went down the splergo rabbit hole). One thing to note is that people with large hands and/or long finger lengths can find the fixed size hand wells too cramped. Another thing to note is that they are loud.
