Hey there,

I’ve been doing a lot of typing lately on my shitty old Compaq keyboard (it has a good build quality, but keys require relatively much force to be pressed) and I experience some discomfort in my fingers.

Would anybody suggest any specific keyboard or keyboard type that would help me ease the strain? I know absolutely nothing about keyboards lol!

    Ouch, is Poland that much cheaper to live in? I live in the Czech Republic and with that salary I would not be able to live anywhere.

      I make a little above minimum wage, and no Poland isn’t that cheap to live in. If I were to rent I would lose like most of my salary and probably live paycheck to paycheck, if I were to find an acceptable deal or force myself to live in a tiny fucking apartment. I’m happy to live with my parents for the moment, and will continue to do so after I finish college.

      Also I just did a simple conversion $300 * 5 = 1500zł, it’s almost correct most of the time lmao I just have that in my head because I’m lazy, but the currrent ratte seems to be 1zł to $0.25

      So the keyboard would actually be 1200zł, but that’s still nothing to scoff at as that still would be more than a third of my salary.

      Some Polish people travel to work in Czech Republic, so I guess that your salaries are a little better. I like to work abroad and spend money at home so I can afford my hobbies, but for personal reasons I’ll have to stay here for some time and I already feel the pain. 😅

      I will have to settle for cheaper alternative for now, but I made a resolution to buy something similar to what you suggested once I finally get to work in the IT sector - at least I hope it will work out. Thanks for your suggestions - I never gave it much thought, the topic is very interesting and I really like the idea of getting a mechanical keyboard in the future.
