> a lot of people begrudgingly dislike the Dactyl Manuform layout because it is uncomfortable for them and awful to type on Part of this is just the nature of ergonomic keyboards. Each one is usually solving a set of very specific ergonomic problems. If you don't have that set of problems it can be either a lateral move or even a regression in your comfort/pain level. My wrists are fucked up from years of skateboarding and mountain biking. Going to curved key wells helped me a lot because it lets me freeze my wrists in a comfortable position and still hit keys far from the home row. And having a fully split keyboard helps me find those comfortable wrist positions easier. With those requirements, a split Dactyl was a good choice and worked out well for me.
