  I have not had the pleasure of using a lot of really good
  keyboards. My HHL2 (identical to yours) fits my hands better than
  any other that I have used.
  
  Someday, I'd like to spend even more money and get a mechanical
  keyboard even better than HHL2. Recommedations are welcome.

  I've almost always worked from home with pretty good control over
  my schedule and take frequent breaks. My wife is a physical
  therapist and raises hell with me if I spend more than two hours
  on the keyboard.
