I have a wrist pain. At first, I thought it was because of my weight training, but I found out it only happens when I’m using the computer. After searching for an ergonomic keyboard, I wanted to give it a try. And now, the wrist pain is gone. I’m so happy with it.
This is my first keyboard. I have a smol brain and want to start with the easy mode, so I bought a fully built keyboard. I chose the K:02 because it uses USB-C, has an OLED, a number row, Vial, and it’s WHITE (I like white).
This is a great start, and since I’m in this rabbit hole, I thought I would build another keyboard for the office. Which one should I buy or build?
P.S: At first, I couldn’t type properly. It was weird, but now I’m happy with my typing speed of 40 WPM (yeah, it’s still too slow)
FYI: I’m using a tactile switch for the homerow and a linear switch for anything else.
Looks great, that first step to split and columnar stagger is the most important for reducing wrist pain in my experience. My first split columnar was the redox, but these days I mostly use corne and humla, although the thumb key positions on these do not suit everyone.
Nice! Which keyboard is that?
Using an ergo keyboard (ultimately my own design, but starting with a Kinesis) has really helped my wrist pain. I ended up making sure portability was part of my design, because I found that using my laptop, even for a fairly short period of time, makes the wrist pain start to come back.
I love that case!, i would like a .stl file like that for my Sofle v2 choc. Maybe i’ll get brave and try something on fusion 360!
I had wrist pain typing only once. It was when I played a typing game for hours one time.
You might want to try one now that you have an ergonomic keyboard. It can help your typing speed. Just limit to an hour or two at a time 😅
Thank you, I’ll give it a try. Is it typeracer.com?
not a game, but this is better: https://monkeytype.com/
