@trick The pictured keyboard is not the MS Ergo that you are contemplating replacing right?

@lovestha Ha, no. That is a keyboard I had in the tech closet that I just grabbed for the system setup.

@trick I used an MS Ergo Pro for many years, then I tried out a vanilla mechanical keyboard and enjoyed it but wanted a more ergonomic layout.

After a few keyboards in the middle I'm now on a bespoke split column stagger 40% with box navy switches at home and something with maximum tactility but no click in the office. (although I've had box navies in a keyboard in an office and had them be quieter that a colleagues cheap dell rubber dome, typing style and case material does a lot for sound: thick acrylic and very little free space in a case can make it quiet)

A nice (how ever you define it, not being a snob about it) keyboard makes typing such a joy.

@lovestha Yeah. A friend put it to me that this is a piece of gear I use for hours everyday, I shouldn't feel bad for investing in it.
