Why Ergonomic Keyboards Matter
When you spend hours coding or writing, your keyboard setup matters. Key placement, hand position, and the distance you reach can affect how comfortable typing feels throughout the day.
Ergonomic keyboards offer different ways to adapt your setup: split designs let you position each hand separately, while alternative key arrangements can change how your fingers move. There is no single perfect keyboard — the goal is to find a setup that suits your body and the way you work.

Whether you’re exploring your first split keyboard or planning a DIY project, you’ll find:
- Keyboard reviews – hands-on experiences with designs like the Ferris Sweep.
- DIY guides – parts, soldering, assembly, and firmware in my Ferris Sweep build log.

- Everyday setups – how I use a 34-key keyboard for development.
