I am 100% sure My macbook pro keyboard is really damaging my fingers/joints. I stopped coding all day on my macbook because my hands really started to hurt very badly, suffering some sort of RSI. Then I decided to start coding on my Cooler Master mechanical keyboard to see wether that would give some relieve. Within 2 weeks the pain was completely gone! I now only use my mac keyboard for short messages like this. I think it's really sad when aesthetics rule over ergonomics, and with the new mac books it only seems to get worse.. Especially the escape key on the oled bar, what idiot made that decision?

  Or swap escape and caps lock. My keyboard supports macros, so I swapped them on one of the macro layers and never looked back.

    If anyone of you needs to remap keys on a Mac in software, I can recommend https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements. I use it myself to remap Caps Lock to Esc.
