It seems like it is very much worth the effort, and I do want to give it a try. I will be switching from QWERTY, any advice on the best way to begin learning a new layout?

Has anyone heard of Programmer's Dvorak? http://www.kaufmann.no/roland/dvorak/ was linked on a stackoverflow question, and I am curious if anyone else has experience with it for programming. I want to give it a shot as it seems really easy to port between machines and it says it did a lot of researc...

That's what I was afraid of webwit haha. My situation means I just have to buy and try, which just sucks for my wallet. It seems the Kinesis advantage with either browns or reds is my choice. I think with my weakness, the reds are probably the best choice since everyone seems to agree that they at l...

Perhaps the biggest consideration I have to make is the key these boards use. I need an ergonomic keyboard, which seems to limit me to choosing between Cherry browns and reds. The TrulyErgo only comes with browns, so I have to be SURE that the browns are not more tiring than the reds for extended us...

Having posed a question earlier today on which ergonomic keyboard/layout might be the best for me (as a disabled user with weak hands that grow weaker with time), the two boards which seemed the best are the Advantage and the TrulyErgonomic and I wanted to create a dedicated thread to talk about the...

So it seems my best choices are the Truly Ergonomic and the Kinesis Advantage, any users of those boards have some insight into which might be a better choice?

Okay so I definitely want to use Cherry Red keys, though the datahand seems like my perfect choice but is prohibitively expensive and I can't manage that. The Maltron keyboard seems to have nothing that the Advantage doesn't have, other than the Maltron layout (which I don't know if I necessarily wa...

The reason I don't want a trackball is because it makes use of fingers as opposed to your arm. I prefer to use my entire arm so that my fingers can type longer. My feet and legs are even worse than my arms/hands, so I can't get any help there >.< What do you guys mean by second and third layer, btw?...

I have certainly thought about my mouse and that is the next upgrade to be made. ATM I am using a Razer Tron ambidextrous mouse and it certainly causes me problems with no pinky tray, it's small size, and some other things. So yes, certainly an issue there. However, I am certain my keyboard is causi...

Okay so to answer rodtang, no I do not have a lot of money haha, in fact my budget is hurting my pocketbook already. For something so important I could spend 500 or 600 (definitely not 1k-2k at this point, though I seriously wish I could), but with any luck at that pricepoint I can find a keyboard t...

Hey everyone, I have a disease that degenerates my muscles, and my hands are starting to take a toll from my love of programming. As a result, my keyboard setup needs to change, and the sooner the better. However, I have a few problems that aren't necessarily typical of every disabled user or suffer...
