    Hi,

    Key combinations e.g. ctrl, alt, del annoy me.

    So do things like typing my password or repetitive sentences.

    I have an RSI issue and currently using the moonlander keyboard which is great but I don't still don't like having to press shift to get{}

    I also wouldn't mind another options for some keys or mouse actions just to mix it up a bit.

    I was thinking of getting a stream controller - but they seem expensive and more for people who do a lot of online or media stuff. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POt4-8b0iPE

    Anyone any tips?

    Assuming you're using Windows then for

    - keystroke combinations, you could  

    (i) enable Sticky Keys

    https://geekflare.com/using-sticky-keys-in-windows/

    (ii) use the keyboard manager

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/powertoys/keyboard-manager

    of Microsoft PowerToys (available from the Microsoft Store) to remap keys

    (iii) use the on-screen keyboard app (where the modifier key will be 'remembered', e.g. clicking on the Shift key, and then on [ key will output the { character)

    - repetitive sentences, you could install AutoHotKey

    https://www.autohotkey.com/

    and configure a hotstring

    for each sentence that you want to repeat
