FWIW, the only keyboard I’ve found in the last 10 years that doesn’t literally wear out in six months is the Kinesis Gaming keyboard. Get a split kb, ergonomic tilting, if you want it, and the keys last.
I used to go through two Logitechs a year. Then I tried the Ergo Pro but they have construction issues, so I went through 3 of those, too. So far, (knock on wood), this Kinesis Gaming k/b has held up nicely. (According to Grammarly, which I use as my in-browser typo-catcher–all my business applications are SAAS, so they run in browsers–I type 60-66K/words/week, if that gives you a feel for the usage amount.) Although, the n and the c are starting to get a bit blurry, but that’s far better than disappearing entirely after 120-180 days.
Dude, you’re kidding. In this day and age? There are online courses you can take to learn to type, even now. It would save you all kinds of yip.
(Funny story–I hated my mother when she insisted I learn to type–“You can always get a job as a secretary if all this liberation stuff doesn’t pan out for you,”–but now, I send thanks up every day for it.)
While I’m here, Nathan–in this new WP template you got goin’ here, boss, is there any way on the new-comments sidebar to highlight the links you’ve already visited that day? While I really love the much-longer list–allowing us to see all the updates or nearly all, so we can click through and read them, I find that I often end up clicking on one I’ve already seen that same day/morning/whatever. Doesn’t this template have a way to change the color of already-visited links? (Again, I mean for that day, not for eternity.)
Is 0, 1, or 2 of those people real?
(typo in the commentary, FYI)
Thanks. Stupid wearing-out keyboard…

Offered FWIW.
Thanks. I can’t do a split keyboard, though, because I never learned to type correctly, and my hands cross over each other all the time.

There’s no obvious way. I’ll poke around.
Old dog. New tricks — which in this case would mean unlearning old tricks.
Sweetie, this dog ain’t very far behind you, if behind you at all. I feel ya, but sometimes, we gotta kick ourselves in the ass.
