65% keyboard
Are the keys actually placed closer together, or just less of them?
I got a LH mechanical keyboard lest year and it's helped me so much, both with moving my hands less, and joint pain. Occasionally I start looking into custom boards and then back out before I go down the rabbit-hole. I might be tempted to build a custom number/hotkey pad one day though.

I did also try Dvorak in the hopes that the superior key placement
Myth. If it happens to work better for you, fine, but pretty much all the claims made about Dvorak and the criticisms of Qwerty are 24 carat bullshit.

I like the tray in the middle to keep your Hersheys in.

There are now low profile mechanical switches from Cherry. I plan on getting something like this soon.

The Kinesis turned up and I'm actually quite disappointed. There's nothing inherently wrong with it - in fact it's a real pleasure to type on but being used to the laptop-style keys on the MS Sculpt, these keys feel so far away from each other and it actually hurts my fingers having to reach as far as I am to some keys, so I'm going to return it. I totally understand why people like mechanical keyboards though - feel like I've been missing out for years...
So I ordered a 40% and 65% keyboard to see if those sizes work better for me. Ideally I'd buy something wildly ergo like the image below but they involve a lot of DYI, which I'm not really up to, so need to figure that out:
I did also try Dvorak in the hopes that the superior key placement would help me reach less, and it did, but I don't have the time at the moment to learn a new keyboard layout. Took me about ten mins to write a three line email...
