Use a Kinesis contoured keyboard, weird looking but better for so many reasons.

theres a place on the typing ability continuum between hunt and peck and ~~~fingers poised over the home row with prescribed movements and a specific set of letters covered by each finger~~~

not that i actually believe the latter is the top end of the typing ability continuum because its some data entry secretarial school bullshit

My PS2 variant from 1999 is still working perfectly after a lot of heavy use, so you get what you pay for with the Kinesis. The USB version feels a tad different from my old one though so something may have changed.

Also Kinesis + Dvorak means no coworker will ever use your computer. :smug:

i did this with my das keyboard, got work to pay for a less noisy but still clicky keyboard

or maybe it was because those lovely cheap hp plastic membrane keyboards were inducing joint pain in my shift-key finger
