Products-I-Love: Logitech K860 ERGO keyboard and Kinesis Advantage
I can get quite the severe carpal tunnel, to the point that my fingers will stop moving completely, and all I can do is hold a pencil while using the eraser end to hit a key at a time.
What saved me is the Kinesis Advantage — a concave design that minimizes finger travel, while also repositioning a few keys for improved load balancing. It takes a while to learn this keyboard, but once you do, the CTS is virtually eliminated. And with the minimal finger travel and optimized key layout, you’re able to achieve incredible typing speed.

Being a mechanical keyboard, it is loud (though I do see the modern version of the keyboard has a silent variant). So while at New Relic, a Mac based shop, switched to the Apple Magic keyboard, in order to type while on calls.
Having move back to a PC based shop here at GTreasury, I decided to give the Logitech K860 Ergo keyboard a try, and am quite happy with it. Very comfortable to use, with low strain, however would prefer the springs to be a tad lighter.
So if you’re looking for maximum ergonomics, where price is no option, check out the Kinesis. Otherwise, the K860 is a great choice!
