Buy a Model M or at least avoid laptop keyboards that are extra small. Do some heavy lifting now and again, so that the hands are used for real stuff.

- swah 10y agoThose are some string keyswitches - I have seen a few people recommending against them if you have hand pain.
- kpil 10y agoThey don't type hard enough :-) Joke aside, I was mainly thinking about wrist problems. I think any normal sized, model-m layout or possibly split-layout keyboard with non-linear quality switches is ok. If the finger joints hurts, I suppose a lower activation force might be good - I guess one might be Cherry MX Brown, but I don't personally like anything else than buckling spring... The main message is that in my experience, laptops in your lap is the worst, and exercise helps.
- swah 10y agoSure, thanks! its also interesting that RSI was much rarer when secretaries wuold type all day on heavy typewriters...
