What do you consider expensive? My keyboard was a $120 Das Keyboard. It's comfortable and it's also lasted me for many years through multiple computers.
I'm not sure why you think investing in a comfortable keyboard is any different from investing in a comfortable chair. Sure, I could buy a chair for $20 at Big Lots, but I don't want to be uncomfortable when I sit for more than 20 minutes.
I think that question is in your court, since you're the one complaining about expense.
Personally, I've found price and quality to be completely unrelated as far as whether I like the keyboard I'm using. I recall being given a fancy expensive keyboard at work that I hated and swapped for a cheaper nicer one, and the one I've used for many many years at home and like quite a lot is one I literally fished out of the recycler.
Also remember to factor inflation into price comparisons, since keyboards last many years and everything is more expensive now than it was several years ago.
My keyboard is a Microsoft Comfort curve. It cost $20 and has lasted for 15 years through multiple computers. Completely got rid of my wrist issues from standard keyboards.
Glad you found a keyboard that works for you though.
