When I initially plugged the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard into my System76 Thelio desktop computer and laid my fingers on its stiff and noisy keys, I thought I wouldn’t enjoy using it. After all, words are how I make my living and I type a lot. Because of that, I need a keyboard that’s going to work with me to help make my daily routine easier.

This keyboard was different than anything I’d ever used. Sure, I’d tried ergonomic keyboards before but, generally speaking, they were too bulky and didn’t help my wrists all that much. I also had another split keyboard, but it didn’t last all that long and the spongy wrist rest quickly disintegrated on me.
The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard, on the other hand, is built like a tank. I’ve been pounding away on this thing for years and it’s still going strong. But what is it about the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard that makes it so good?
Let me count the way.

Ultimate Hacking Keyboard
A 60-key, split keyboard that provides ergonomics to help your wrists and enhanced productivity.

The most important thing about the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard is twofold: the split design and the ability to “tent” the two halves such that my wrists remain in a more natural state. Instead of having to twist my hands so they are parallel with a flat surface, they remain at somewhere between 10 and 15 degrees. That’s just enough tilt to relieve the pressure on my forearms and wrists.
