FWIW I've been quite happy with the ZSA Moonlander https://www.zsa.io/moonlander
This keyboard looks like Kinesis's answer to the moonlander
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yep, love my Moonlander - it has really helped with my wrist issues. The only trouble I have is when I have to switch to a standard keyboard (e.g., on a laptop).
Yeah this kills me too, I use layering so much that switching to a standard keyboard is borderline crippling. Still worth it though
What does the keyboard layout look like? Every single picture of the keyboard on this site shows either a tiny section of the keyboard where you only see like 4 keys, or there's one picture that shows the whole thing, but it's super tiny and you can't read the keys. Does it have a decent mac layout? Is cmd+tab easy to type? Is copy/paste ergonomic? I have no idea because the pictures don't show it, and scrolling arou…
I have the non-split curvy Kinesis and while it’s good for typing, it is unusable for photoshop or illustrator work. Some shortcuts no longer work for one-handed use.

I’m guessing this mimics the kinesis advantage 2, which is an already well known keyboard layout from the same company.
I picked up a Kinesis a few month ago and it's been a life changer. I've struggled with shoulder pain since as far back as I can remember. I'd done PT, dry needling, massage, etc etc. I'd even sprung for a personal ergonomic assessment. I'm a cyclist and and keyboard jockey, so most of my waking life is spent in positions that seemed to make it worse. At times it prevented me from sleeping, doing things I enjoyed, et…
Did your doctors or therapists consider Thoracic Outlet Syndrome? I've struggled with severe pain in shoulders, arms, hands and fingers for several years. It was sort of discovered by accident. They removed both of my first ribs (rib resection) and in combination with a Kinesis keyboard and a Wacom pen and tablet as a mouse replacement it's much better now. Unfortunately, the solution came a bit late. The strain on m…
Kinesis Advantage keyboards saved my career. I had bad carpal tunnel syndrome. I tried evening out there. This is the only thing that remotely worked.
I'll second that. I've owned two of these keyboards (one for work, one for home) for 16 years and they are still going strong. Nothing else really worked for me. They've taken me through 3 employers now. It does take some getting used to, but once you've made the transition, you won't want to go back. You'll type faster, with almost no strain, and more accurately.
What did they end up doing with the escape key?
There is layout photo in one of the FAQ answers.
I do have an ErgoDox to really try first. Know it is an adjustment. But it is hard not to try this...
