Please recommend an ergonomic mechanical keyboard (self.technology)

I'm looking to replace my Logitech Wave with an ergonomic mechanical keyboard and would appreciate any recommendations from the community here.

Prefer cherry brown or red switches and a single piece design (not a fan of the 2-piece keyboards). Also prefer a number pad though not required as I can always add one separately if needed.

I've heard of the dvorak layout but yeah, that initial learning curve... :D

Colemak is meant to have most of the benefits of dvorak with a much smaller learning curve.

I have not learned dvorak yet (but may need to due to my EDS/finger subluxations), I highly recommend buying an all blank keyboard or covering the letters. I was slow to learn touch typing but finally took the plunge with a blank keyboard from Das Keyboard, and it was maybe more frustrating in the short term but very fast learning.

I have a feeling you are looking for a fancier ergonomic keyboard but Das Keyboards tenkeyless works well for me.
