My turn to step on your lawn with a suggestion lol…
There was a time a few years ago where I had crazy problems with tennis elbow, presumably brought on by various gym workouts I was doing at the time, and let me tell you, these products I’ll link below absolutely changed my life.

The exercises you’ll want to do are called ‘Tyler Twists.’ Start with the lightest strength bar (green) and work on the Tyler Twists. At first it may be difficult, depending on how ornery your elbows are at the time, but believe me, they will get stronger in the places they need to.
You can search “Tyler Twists” on Youtube for a variety of easy tutorials on how to do them.
It isn’t an overnight cure but, if you faithfully work with it every day, believe me that it will make a phenomenal difference for you when likely nothing else will.

I can’t use mechanical keyboards anymore. I’m a hard typist (or is it typer?) and my fingers hurt with every mechanical keyboard I have owned or tried. The mecha-membrane keyboards are not too bad but my fingers still end up hurting, it just take longer than the mechanical ones. I use membrane at work and mecha-membrane for gaming.
I agree, I’ve used all the cherry and razer switches even the ones that claim to be silent.

I mean obviously it’s all personal preference, but as long as you don’t encounter key conflict (which is the case in most OEM or business grade keyboards) you should be okay.
Ever since we went remote, I have been using my own keyboards and I won’t ever go back to a membrane.
The worst offender is the chiclet style ones on our laptops

I end up plugging my own keyboard into my laptop at home and even when I travel I take my logitech mouse with me.
I totally understand the benefits of a mechanical keyboard for gaming, I just can’t use them anymore.
They make conflict free membrane keyboards too.
This one seems pretty popular choice for gamers who like membrane.

I was using one of my old mechanical keyboards from Logitech, it is the G413. They use the Romer G switches, they are not only scratchy as all hell, but they require almost a full bottom out to register. Used it for work a day, and my fingers were so tired the rest of the night I couldn’t really play.
That was a worse experience than membrane. But switching over to my reds, and its much softer typing experience.
