I got myself an ortholinear split keyboard (moonlander). I used to get some wrist pain every now and then but the biggest game changers were switching escape with caps lock. The great thing about the moonlander is that I have backspace, enter , delete and space on my thumbs instead of my pinkies (not including space obviously) and I have to say that when I am in the zone, it is noticeably more comfortable.
When I first got it I was ready to return it after a week. I must have been typing around 10wpm at the beginning. I'm not back to around 80-90. Was it worth it? I think so, the macros and multiple layers are nice but I don't use them a ton. The ability to really relax my shoulders has certainly helped reduce some of the neck pain I experience but after tons of working out and strengthening at the recommendations of physio I imagine my personal issues with neck pain are more manifestations of minor anxiety than physical deficiencies with posture.
I recognise that's not the point of this article but I just thought to mention that it doesn't magically fix everything. But it does make long sessions more enjoyable and comfortable.
