Why do you think it's a good choice?
Because you can already "type without looking" and the Matias has the correct keys on each half for someone that can (the number 6 is often on the wrong half). It will be familiar enough for each hand that you shouldn't struggle to "learn" to type on it.
It has mechanical keys (Alps - style switches), is split so you can adjust each half for shoulder width and splay angle and the pieces can be tented to help with pronation. It ticks some of the most important boxes in terms of ergonomics while still being familiar enough to use straight away.
And I love the edit and arrow key arrangement 
very neat.
Any "more" ergonomic board will have a different physical key layout or character placement. If you are willing to go that far towards the "best" ergonomics, it's best to go all the way to a Maltron, ErgoDox or similar board with both physical and character layout improvement, but for most it's too much of a change to justify.
Thank you for your reply man, I can see you've been reading all I have to say and compiling an understanding of what would be best suited for me, that's sweet of you. As for the 6 key, it's not really all that big of a deal, I don't really type numbers from home row much, it's not something I've ever had to learn to do efficiently, I usually just peck at the numbers because they're so far up and awkward to hit from home row.
As for the best ergonomics, I don't know, I think the matias will hold me off and make my typing experience a lot more comfortable for the time being, I currently do a lot of typing on a Logitech G510 and I think it might be giving me karpal tunnel or something LOL, so a change would certainly be nice.
Guys, I'm really considering the Matias ergopro, what do you guys think of it? Seems like the best of both worlds.
Matias uses Alps which may leave you with very few keycaps available for you to alternate between various key caps later on to your choice. The keyboard style seems to be nice and it is also reasonably priced. The only other thing that may come close is the ErgoDox but ErgoDox uses Cherry MX switches which can give one more switches to mix and match to your taste. With Matias Ergopro you only got one normal one and one silenced one.
There are two other keyboards which maybe on the same level of playing field with Ergopro but are priced more. You have μTron and IBM/Lexmark M15. Both are ergonomic mechanical keyboards but both also feature very different key switches. μTron with Topre and IBM/Lexmark M15 with Buckling spring.
Hmmm, interesting piece of information about the keycaps, I'm not sure whether or not I'm all too worried about being able to replace the keycaps though, I don't really care much whether my keyboard looks cool or not, I just want it to be comfortable and functional
. Also thank you for your replies throughout this thread, they've been very large and informative and you deserve credit for that reason, on-topic and helpful.
As for the keyboard I'm going to get it'll be Matias most likely, I've been looking a lot into it and it seems like a good price, good switches which aren't unreasonably loud but still have that distinctive mechanical sound, and most importantly it's ergonomic, I was looking into getting a Filco at the beginning, but I no longer thing that a traditional keyboard layout is ideal for me.
Although a mechanical alone would probably be a huge improvement over my G510 (because these keys are so bloody ****ing stiff even after a year of use), but changing to a mechanical and an ergonomic will probably improve the health and vitality of my writs, and allow me to work longer and more comfortably.
One more question I must ask though, will the switches on the Matias suffice for gaming??
