Are there any ergonomic keyboards for smaller hands?<p>There's no shortage of ergonomic keyboard recommendations from Hacker News or elsewhere on the internet. Those hardware are usually build for folks with larger hands (such as men).<p>I am a woman with smaller hands. My handspan from the tips of my thumb to the pinky is about 19cm. Most ergonomic keyboards are large: I could not just rest my hands and tap all keys without reaching. I've tried Microsoft's ergonomic keyboard and keyboards (<75%) ortholinear layout. From the off-the-shelf solutions, ortholinear layout works the best so far. Microsoft ergonomic keyboard is huge and I dislike it.<p>Someone told me to stay away from ergodox and kinesis especially for smaller-than-average hands.
Are you looking for only prebuilts? What about layout?<p>Honestly, I think the HHKB is highly ergonomic in terms of the home row/split backspace/control location. However, it's not ergo in the sense of the ergodox or kinesis.<p>If you're open to customs there's infinite possibilities tbh.
A company called Perixx makes ergonomic-layout keyboards in a variety of sizes: <a href="https://perixx.com/collections/keyboards" rel="nofollow">https://perixx.com/collections/keyboards</a>
