  Can anyone recommend me a good mechanical split keyboard? I am a software developer, so I type a lot, so good ergonomics is important to me. I have had some RSI issues years ago, but they luckily went away after switching to a non-mechanical Microsoft 4000 split keyboard and a trackball. 
  Now I want to take the step to a mechanical keyboard, so I bought a 2nd hand X-Bows Knight Plus (an older version with brown non-silent switches), but no matter how much I try, I cannot get used to it, and I keep switching back. I often mistype letters, which makes it frustrating. Maybe this is because the keys are not aligned the same, but I like the idea of a keyboard that follows the natural stance of your hands. Maybe I should try harder, but maybe another keyboard is a better fit.
  Since these keyboards are not very cheap, I am seeking some guidance here.
context: Hi, I have a Corsair K70 LUX with 6 years old, I am thinking on modding  it with detachable cable with usb type-c and use the usb passthrough  that has in it, is there any guide or advices to have in mind?, I have  experience soldering things, etc. >
  
  Questions on if the moon lander is right for me:
  I was told that I should buy a new keyboard for work as a programmer. I normally use a standard straight keyboard, but I had issues with pain in my pain from a pinched nerve which probably comes from a past injury and the tight position. I'm trying to be preventive.
  I'm currently looking at the moonlander, but my worry a few things
  how hard is it to transition from a straight keyboard to the moonlander ( I plan to keep the straight keyboard at home and using the laptop keyboard if I need to go to a meeting).
  Do it work with linux? I'll be running ubuntu for a development environment.
  question on switches
  I like the feedback I get from my magic keyboard. Is there a switch that kind of mimics that feel? I don't think I care about the travel as much as I do about the tactile "feedback"(the click isn't nessessary), but it you feel like you past a certain threshold. I apologize for the vagueness. If I can get directed in a certain direction to get to that point where I can decide. I have tired MX browns and they were fine and it also has been a while. I would ideally like to have some click (not MX blue level of click since I'll be in an work office). 
  Thanks for the help. >
  
  There are many options for ergo mechanical keyboards: traditional row staggered, "Alice" layout (bent row staggered), column staggered (like the Moonlander), or ortholinear (straight lines between rows and columns). See this comment for some recommendations for each. Another keyboard that recently came to my attention is the Perixx PERIBOARD-335 split TKL. It has Kailh Choc low profile switches. It is currently available for US$89.
  There is a stickied post in r/ErgoMechKeyboards for recommending ergo mechanical keyboards. You might try asking there. There is a form to fill out.
  My daily driver is a Keebio FoldKB, which I use on my Mac at home and on a Windows work laptop. I also occasionally use a Keebio Nyquist on a Linux laptop. OS compatibility between Windows, Mac, and Linux is not a problem.
  I use my work laptop’s keyboard when in meetings, and do not have any problems. My muscle memory says “okay, we are using this keyboard now.”
  There are a multitude of tactile switch options out there. I personally like Gazzew Boba U4 silent tactile. My wife likes the Kailh box silent brown switches on her keyboard. If you want a little bit of click, maybe try Kailh box mute jade. I am sure others can provide more and better suggestions.
