There will be always stupid person who would waste 1668$ on this bullshit.

Do you think every part of your spending is rational?

And there will be the unlucky (stupid) person that ends up with RSI at 35

It's funny that most of these super hyped up mechanical keyboards still use traditional staggered non-split layout that will still contribute to developing RSI sooner or later.

I feel bad for the shoulders and hands of all those geeks using their tiny $600 cramped keyboards.

Any keyboard that does not separate into two independent halves (like ErgoDox or Matias ErgoPro) is horrible for posture and ergonomics.

https://shop.keyboard.io/products/model-01-keyboard is my keyboard of choice for most tasks, and certainly for typing. It's both split and ortholinear. It uses Mathias Quiet Click switches and custom-formed keycaps for the design.

There is no evidence for a causal relationship between keyboard usage and RSI.

It's more common among computer users, isn't it? Though that alone isn't enough to define a cure.

It's not even correlated with keyboard usage, so no not more common.

Poor keyboards and mice are exacerbating factor - my pinkie finger started to hurt when I was using a apple magic mouse.

I switched to an old PS2 Microsoft mouse and it went away.
