Those of us who use our computers frequently are susceptible to wrist strain. The right hand is especially vulnerable as it does all the mousing. In my last column I discussed ergonomic mice. Another way to reduce wrist strain and improve your efficiency at the same time is to get a better keyboard. Now, not just any keyboard will do. The key is to obtain features that make keyboarding more comfortable.<\/div>\n
As with mice, two of the biggest keyboard producers are Microsoft and Logitech. Each of them has a range of keyboards<\/p>\n
One of the more common ergonomic keyboard designed involved a curved keyboard, slightly curving the left side clockwise, and the right side counter-clockwise, with a gap in the centre between the two sets of keys. I used such a keyboard for several years and can attest that it is indeed more natural feeling and more comfortable for touch typists. This takes a few days to get used to, but it is much more comfortable on your hands and wrists. Once you use one you’ll never want to return to a normal keyboard.<\/p>\n
