Mine is HHKB (Happy Hacking Keyboard Profession 2), and loving it. What's yours?<p>http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=pfu_keyboards,hhkbpro2&pid=pdkb400w
Cooler Master QuickFire Stealth<p>After trying Das Keyboard, I realized I wanted something smaller. I found the CM, a ten-keyless design that had the correct inverted T configuration and am hooked. By correct, I mean some 'keyboard designer' didn't get their hands on the placement of insert, delete, etc.--you know, those keys that nobody uses except programmers and touch typists that have been wiring their brains for them for years.<p>They have a variety of Cherry MX switches to choose from. They also have some nice extras behind a hardware Fn key like the ability to turn the Windows key off and nicely placed volume keys. I like it very much compared to my Das Keyboard.
The ErgoDox, hands-down. Split-hand, thumb clusters, mechanical switches, runs on an Arduino-like board (Teensy) so the firmware[0] is very customizable. I have common progamming symbols under the homerow triggered with a layer key near my thumbs.<p>I wrote an article about it: <a href="http://jjt.io/2013/11/25/why-any-developer-should-check-out-the-ergodox-keyboard/" rel="nofollow">http://jjt.io/2013/11/25/why-any-developer-should-check-out-...</a><p>[0]: <a href="https://github.com/benblazak/ergodox-firmware" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/benblazak/ergodox-firmware</a>
<a href="http://www.typematrix.com/dvorak/" rel="nofollow">http://www.typematrix.com/dvorak/</a><p>Dvorak, and a compressed format with vertical key spacing - tbh if I were learning a keyboard format from scratch I would probably use colemak instead (fits my key distribution slightly better, but both blow qwerty away).<p>As to the keyboard, I really like the movement of enter/backspace, and arrow keys/home/end etc.
Leopold Tenkeyless Tactile Touch<p><a href="http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,tenkeyless&pid=fc200rtab" rel="nofollow">http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,tenkeyles...</a><p>Cherry MX Brown switches<p>I bought this first for home and within 2 weeks got a second one for work. I like the responsive (but not crazy loud) Cherry browns.<p>Moving my (less used) 10-key to a separate keypad on the other side of my (much used) mouse has been the single biggest improvement. It allows my keyboard to be much more centered to my body without pushing the mouse far right.
Kinesis Freestyle 2 <a href="http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle2-for-mac/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle2-for-mac/</a> with the VIP tent accessory and a trackball between the spilt (raised up so it's at the same level as the edges of the keyboard. Being able to keep my hands straight and minimizing movement to move my cursor is great (I keep a apple wireless keyboard around for if other people need to use my computer)
IBM Model M from May 1987 that I've had since the early 90s. I guess this makes me a) old and b) in possession of a keyboard manufactured before many posting on HN were born!
I have the Kinesis Advantage and it's done wonders for my hands. I use to show early symptoms of RSI and since switching to the Advantage, they've all but disappeared.
I heard the "Code Keyboard" is pretty good. Anybody tried?<p><a href="http://codekeyboards.com/" rel="nofollow">http://codekeyboards.com/</a><p>It doesn't have Mac mode, though.
I use a Nighthawk X8 (MX Browns) for everything.<p><a href="http://reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards" rel="nofollow">http://reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards</a> is fairly large and is dedicated to keyboards of all kinds.<p><a href="http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-keyboard-nighthawk-x8-blue-backlit-mechanical-keyboard.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-keyboard-nighthawk-x8-blue-ba...</a>
I just picked up a WASD (<a href="http://www.wasdkeyboards.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.wasdkeyboards.com</a>) with Cherry blues, and I love it. I'd previously used a flat Apple keyboard for years and I was concerned that it would be a difficult transition - but it only took a few minutes to get acclimated.
Apple Extended Keyboard, the "Enterprise" model, not the II. Sadly quite difficult to find them these days, as the II was more popular. Worse, I can't bring my AEK to work because the right arrow key stops working for a few months if I move it much.
I have severe RSI pain when I type too much on Macbook's keyboard.<p>Switching between Macbook and Kinesis Advantage pro(as external keyboard) and couldn't be happier.<p>Yes, this one is kind of expensive but mine is 6yrs old already and still going strong.
Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Color Display. It's not that ergonomic but has tons of extra keys that you can program with macro plus color display plus SDK.
