Weapons of the Gods in Computers & Accessories

I bought this thing because I had RSI on my forearms and severe pain in my wrists. Little did I know it would ease that pain and tell me I had other issues that weren't already hurting me. My wife often comes to my office to chat and talk and usually she is my shoulder. After using this puny beast, she noticed how relaxed my shoulders were. Then it struck me that I lost my shoulder and neck. Little did I know I was on my way to screwing up my shoulders too! I also didn't know how much better it would be to play this thing. I switched my AWSD to SEDF and it's GG. I have quick access to thumb buttons and easy access to buttons around the SEDF. It's just the best attitude, no question. I'm a developer, so I spend a lot of time coding and a lot of time at the terminal. Something that still doesn't quite work for me is using terminal shortcuts to bypass. But what helped with programming was finally learning the VIM key combinations. With the VIM keymap I don't have to rely on the arrow keys to move around, which is my only issue with this keyboard as the arrow keys are a bit awkward to use. At work, I can only use a regular keyboard. To my surprise, my brain can instantly adapt to any keyword, which came as a huge shock to me. That's all I really need to see, it's 100% worth it if you want to decrease your chance of screwing up your hands while still staying at 100%. productive.
