I don’t know how to answer you exactly. My hands don’t hurt. Maybe it’s because of the combo of the ortholinear keyboard and the Dvorak layout causing me to move my fingers minimally.
That could be it. Also mechanical keys probably play a role. I had a laptop with flat keys and within a week of use I had to start lugging my keyboard around with me.
Yeah, I had a MacBook once with really flat keys and no travel when you pressed a key. After an hour of using it I felt like I had been typing on concrete.
Not OP, but I also use flat keycaps, so I thought I’d chime in. I’m not really sure why your hands would hurt with flat keycaps, but one of the reasons I chose to use flats were to allow for easier chording with Plover.
Serious question: How do you type on flat profile without having your hands hurt? I could never get use to flat keys and spherical work the best.
