Revainrating 5 out of 5

I loved this keyboard until I developed the Carpal Tunnel.

As a former professional musician turned programmer, I must have been prone to carpal tunnel. The height of the keys combined with the weight, spacing and setup, however after 5 months of daily use I went from "no pain what is CT" to full throttle, CT. I think the design of this keyboard made my condition worse and accelerated the severity with which it developed. Please note that I don't want to blame the keyboard. Because I really liked everything about this keyboard. Sound, lighting, responsiveness - this is truly a fantastic keyboard. Except ergonomic. This makes no claim to ergonomics. However, I feel that this design isn't just "non-ergonomic', keyboard for women by women. Just saying :) Anyway, I'm writing this as a warning to anyone who might consider this keyboard. Please spare yourself the pain. I mean real shooting, crippling pain. Pain that keeps you up at night and makes the day that much harder. I've made so many mistakes in my life but never regretted it until I bought this keyboard. Yes, it sounds a bit dramatic but I'm not exaggerating. Programming is literally the passion of my life and now it's a painful process. Imagine your favorite item suddenly being plagued by a stupid online purchase. Okay, you get my point. Buyer Warning. Otherwise a great keyboard. crippling pain. Pain that keeps you up at night and makes the day that much harder. I made so many mistakes in my life but never regretted until I bought this keyboard.
