The problem we’re solving
I’ve had wrist pain since high school because of tennis, and that got worse when I started working full-time as a software engineer. I did a ton of research to find a good ergonomic keyboard to reduce the pain. The one I landed on (Kinesis Freestyle2) gets the job done, but there’s so much that I wish was better about it.
The design feels cheap. It’s almost entirely plastic, has unnecessary wires, and tons of wasted space. Not to mention that to make it ergonomic, you have to buy plastic tenting legs which cost about half what the keyboard does.
