Felt the pain too.

I tried quite a few keyboards and layouts.

What worked for me is mainly the Dvorak layout and a small keyboard. I can code quite comfortably and for a long time on a MacBook.

That’s the cheapest solution but be sure to install and train with a touch typing software (i believe i used Klavaro on linux). You will be productive again more quickly.

For the extra comfort, I bought an EZ plank (i used a typematrix before). Small ortholinear keyboards are great. Split keyboards seems fantastic but i like the small thing on my desk.

I use both a master mx mouse and an apple touchpad. That’s my only pain right now. I switch from one to the other or occasionally use the keyboard’s mouse feature to avoid hands travel and change the repetitive movements. This part is not perfect but the pain is really low.

Lastly, I cut a piece of wood to serve as a palm rest and put the the touchpad below the keyboard. Very comfortable.

Hope it will help someone else…
