Reply to Best Keyboard for RSI by Zukk07
There are hundreds of split keyboards, hundreds of switches and there's an endless number of alternative logical layouts (other than qwerty). Try to observe yourself when typing and identify the cause of your symptoms. A new keyboard won't help you without a known issue to address. E.g. splits alleviate ulnar deviation. Low profile may alleviate wrist extension. Tenting helps with forearm pronation. But you may simply need a better layout, move a frequent key combo to another finger, higher chair, arm rest. So again: observe yourself before impulse buying anything.

Note the huge size of this gigantic macropad compared to the keyboard above it. Here is a better photo for comparison: https://kbd.news/Noritsu-Z025892-01-1296.html

Reply to KBD:NEWS Advent Calendar // 0th day by dovenyi
The very first KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar is starting off with a 0th day post on what the heck is a mechanical keyboard advent calendar.
(Spoiler: It's been a custom in the Japanese DIY keyboard community, but I tried to recruit an all-star line-up to bring this phenomenon to you outside of Japan.)
Posts will be revealed one by one, landing page this way:
