Hi, need some recommendations for best split keyboard for coders, that can make me type faster. Any thoughts on these or other ones? One with trackball to control cursor(not the ide lol) would be ideal.

I use a zsa moonlander and a Kensington trackball, separately.

Just to be clear, I don't think ergo/split keyboards will necessarily help you type faster. They've been life-changing for me to help deal with nerve damage pain in my hands.

Although I do type noticably faster now, but that could just be due to reduced pain.

After using a split keyboard for 3 years, I can't imagine using a regular one. My hand and wrist pain disappeared witthin a week of switching.

The best I have ever used was the microsoft sculpt. You have to do some changes for it to register the right keys on mac but it is worth it.
