MoErgo Glove80

It is so comfortable that the downsides do not matter

I spent quite a bit of time with the Glove80, and I have to say - this keyboard is a game-changer when it comes to comfort. The key well design creates this natural curvature that your hands just sink into, making typing feel incredibly natural. What really stood out was how it actually forced me to correct my bad typing habits because of its columnar layout.

The curved design also means less finger travel, which contributed to the overall comfort. I found that my RSI issues, which would typically flare up with other keyboards, completely disappeared when using the Glove80. The thumb cluster design is pretty clever, though I ended up mainly using the bottom three keys.

While there are some quirks with the configuration software and a few design compromises, the typing comfort is so exceptional that these downsides become insignificant. The keyboard isn't perfect - it's lightweight and requires some care in handling, plus you can't hot-swap switches. But for anyone dealing with RSI or seeking ultimate typing comfort, this keyboard is a solid recommendation despite its $360 price tag.
