I used a Kinesis when I worked at Microsoft, which I credit for heading off impending RSI. It took about a week to get back up to speed, and then it was great.

I used a Kinesis when I worked at Microsoft, which I credit for heading off impending RSI. It took about a week to get back up to speed, and then it was great. I had a pedal connected to the shift key because of all the LONG_CAPITALIZED_C_CONSTANTS in Microsoft code.
- nerdponx 9y agoI type enough capitalized constants (and plain-text abbreviations) nowadays that I actually un-remapped Caps Lock and put it back in its default spot. I imagine some frustrated IBM programmers in the late 80s saying "fuck it, I'm just putting caps lock where Control used to be."
- yangyang 9y agoI've got one of the thumb keys on the left of the Kinesis mapped to shift; never quite got used to it though and I'm always mistyping when holding it.
