I’m looking to replace my Logitech Wave with an ergonomic mechanical keyboard and would appreciate any recommendations from the community here.
Prefer cherry brown or red switches and a single piece design (not a fan of the 2-piece keyboards). Also prefer a number pad though not required as I can always add one separately if needed.
I’ve heard of the dvorak layout but yeah, that initial learning curve… :D
Colemak is meant to have most of the benefits of dvorak with a much smaller learning curve.
I have not learned dvorak yet (but may need to due to my EDS/finger subluxations), I highly recommend buying an all blank keyboard or covering the letters. I was slow to learn touch typing but finally took the plunge with a blank keyboard from Das Keyboard, and it was maybe more frustrating in the short term but very fast learning.
I have a feeling you are looking for a fancier ergonomic keyboard but Das Keyboards tenkeyless works well for me.
