I tend to use the left SHIFT and CTRL keys a lot whenever I'm on the keyboard(Because that's usually for sprinting/crouching/etc), and one unfortunate side effect that I'm starting to notice is pain in my left pinky if I use SHIFT/CTRL for an extended amount of time. Anyone know a good ergonomic keyboard?

I just got one of these, but I don't think you'd want one
Microsoft 59758 natural keyboard, if you typed homerow it might be ok, but I don't, so it was just weird
also, its ps/2
edit: it does have pretty large shift/ctrl keys, idk

Why

I'm somewhat like Clint from LGR, I like old, obsolete technology that I don't need. Can't say the same for wood grain though.

or you could just rebind the controls to something more accessible, like c for crouch...

You could try the Redragon Karura Keyboard. It's a really flat (and extremely quiet) keyboard and not too big so it should be easy on your fingers to use the shift and ctrl buttons

Plus it's backlit too and you can change it's colors with it's software, so that's a plus. It's $24.99 too so it's basically a steal to pay this much for this

did you not read "ergonomic?"
ot: build/buy an ergodox

There's no such thing as a good ergonomic keyboard.

e-e-rgodox?
if you have arm/hand/strain/stuff you should honestly invest in a rsi strap for your arm or something, i have one and it works good forthe price
