Keyboard that would help avoid fingers strain (lemmygrad.ml)

Hey there,

I've been doing a lot of typing lately on my shitty old Compaq keyboard (it has a good build quality, but keys require relatively much force to be pressed) and I experience some discomfort in my fingers.

Would anybody suggest any specific keyboard or keyboard type that would help me ease the strain? I know absolutely nothing about keyboards lol!

No i actually just started dual booting linux last week (Garuda). Personally I just adapted my key patterns so yeah copy and paste aren’t next to each other but I know them.

Tap tap switch hand refers to the general dvorak rhythm. In general it tried to get closer to two taps with a hand at a time. This results in a lot of common letter pairings being on the same hand

Oh, okay. May I ask why did you chose Garuda specifically? 🙂 I think it's the first time I read about it.

It’s beginner friendly and I know the experts like arch so it seemed a good way to get into that. But also I tried ubuntu years and years ago when linux gaming meant downloading steam felt sketchy so a gaming focused distributor appealed to me
