I started using computers as early as was physically possible. Sadly, no one ever taught me good habits around typing (let alone ergonomics). Having some small RSI issues in my right wrist, I decided to further go down the route of mechanical keyboards, which I &lt;a href="../../mech-kb">previously discussed here&lt;/a>. In October 2025, I purchased a [ZSA Voyager][voyager] mechanical keyboard.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I should rewind a small bit - prior to the Voyager, I purchased a Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro (the wireless one), which is a great and supremely comfortable keyboard. One of the major downsides to the Advantage 360 is that it is uncomfortable for any sort of gaming. Also, there is a nice weight and robustness to the Advantage 360 which makes it unsuitable to travel in my opinion.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Mechanical Keyboards</title><link>/mech-kb/</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Apr 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/mech-kb/</guid><description>&lt;p>Early last year, I purchased two &lt;a href="http://codekeyboards.com">Code Keyboards&lt;/a> (one for work and one for
home). The Code Keyboards are designed by &lt;a href="http://blog.codinghorror.com">Jeff Atwood&lt;/a> (who founded &lt;a href="http://stackoverflow.com">Stack
Overflow&lt;/a>). Mechanical keyboards are “old style” in that the switches are
from an era where everything was mechanical, unlike today where everything is
glass. So mechanical keyboards have ardent fans and people who don’t really care
for them.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;img loading="lazy" src="../../img/16/code_kb.jpg" alt="" />
&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I did a lot of research before I purchased, talking to various people in work
who are very knowledgeable about mechanical keyboards (The best community for
advice, discussion and group buys is &lt;a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards">/r/mechanicalkeyboards&lt;/a> on reddit.).
The variety of hardware and opinions is positively mind melting. If you are
doing your own research, you should definitely come across &lt;a href="http://cherryswitches.com">Cherry switches&lt;/a>
(a very established German brand). Switches are what sit between your key that
you see (with the letter printed on top) and the electronic board that converts
the key press to a signal the computer can understand.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
