Another #MechanicalKeyboard milestone: I have taken my failing #Microsoft4000 #ErgonomicKeyboard off my desk, leaving just my little DIY 36-key keyboard (and a vertical mouse).

This was actually prompted by my optician suggesting that as my close vision has deteriorated slightly, I should try glasses with a reading wedge (baby #bifocals) and the monitor lower down so I look at it through the lower part of the lenses. I need to sit straight now!

(Plan B is dedicated intermediate / #ReadingGlasses)

I’ve not found a comfortable setup for my #MechanicalKeyboard #SplitKeyboard using tenting yet - I think I’m too used to the high wrist wrest on my reverse inclined #Microsoft4000 (which I do not touch type on, which keeps my hands very mobile), and this Corne with MX key switches is too high - and with six columns too wide when inclined (center up, outer edges down).

Currently trying a low pull out keyboard shelf (never used before as it lacked clearance for the old keyboard) & chair arm rests. Might work - feels better for shoulders and elbow angle having the keyboard that much lower down.

It only just occurred to me, but there’s a reason its the E key which is starting to fail on my #Microsoft4000 #ErgonomicKeyboard - its the most used letter in the English language (and I'm not a vi/vim user so no HJKL effect - my cursor keys get pounded instead, and thankfully are holding up fine).

I guess switching to Dvorak would be one “solution" (becomes `.>`) , or Colemak (becomes F).

Looks like #Incase will be resurrecting the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard LXM-00004 https://www.incase.com/collections/ergonomic-keyboard/products/ergonomic-keyboard-uk

However, I want something closer to the older Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 - comparative review at https://norphus.co.uk/2022/07/29/microsoft-ergonomic-keyboard-lxm-00004-review/
