Thoughts on ergonomic keyboards? More specifically: do they help, are they worth it, do they slow down your typing (especially in terms of excel shortcuts), and if positive ... which one do you use?

100% worth it - I could tell my wrists were less tense/sore. I swear by the Microsoft sculpt ergonomic keyboard + mouse

Which MS sculpt? One looks like a standard keyboard whereas the other is split in the middle

Which types do people like using? There seems like so many variations

So worth it, a little awkward learning it for about a day only

Once you switch, you can't go back!

I much prefer them. I also use a trackball rather than a mouse. I can type faster with the erg keyboard.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

AMA.
