I’m looking to replace my Logitech Wave with an ergonomic mechanical keyboard and would appreciate any recommendations from the community here.

Prefer cherry brown or red switches and a single piece design (not a fan of the 2-piece keyboards). Also prefer a number pad though not required as I can always add one separately if needed.

I use Ferris Sweep. It’s an ergo-split with a vertical key stagger, 34 keys, low profile. Open source, you can assemble it wired, or with some nice!nano controllers and batteries - completely wireless.

If you’re not into soldering and flashing controllers, you can order it pre-made from crafty persons on the internets.

I started using it because most other keyboards give me wrist pain due to a medical issue I have. 34 keys might be tight for most people, but if you’re ok with configuring some layers, you’ll be good.
