Why
Software dev, typing 8+ hours a day on a laptop keyboard. Wrists start hurting by Thursday. Will a mech keyboard actually help or am I falling down the rabbit hole?
Cheaper alternative

AI second opinion · not a vote
Buy it. It is your main work tool for eight hours a day. Pair it with a wrist rest and a proper desk height, which matter just as much.

Also check your chair height lol, mine was the real problem.

Narrator: it was not just one keyboard. I own 11 now. Start with the K8 and see.
Buy it · senior_dev_dad
It's your main work tool. Lawyers buy nice pens. Buy the keyboard.
Wait · ergo_or_bust
If your wrists hurt, the fix is a split or tented board or a better desk height, not a heavier keyboard. Look at the Kinesis.

It's a rabbit hole, yes. But a good board + wrist rest genuinely fixed my RSI. Just promise you'll stop at one.
