    I’ve used a variety of split keyboards for a good number of years now, and it has made an enormous difference to the hand pain that was just starting before I switched, and also to my posture. I tried tenting too, but never really got comfy with that. I found that tenting helped me more when using higher profile split boards (i.e. with MX switches), but I preferred not tenting with low profile (Choc) switches. It’s worth getting a board with the potential to tent though, as it is a very individual thing and you never know what will work best for you.

    For reference, I am not a gamer, and try to avoid using the mouse as much as possible.

    Others have already listed some of my favourites, but top of my list would have to be Kate Bush - Hounds of Love. Not only is every track perfect, but there are so many layers and nuance and mystery to the tracks that you can (I have!) listen to it regularly for nearly 38 years, and still never tire of it.

    There’s even a still more perfect album within that album: The Ninth Wave.
