What’s the point of a 300$ keyboard that minimizes movement when you have to move your entire hand every time you you need a mouse?
The point is to reduce strain and fatigue of the fingers and wrists, not to reduce movement for the sake of reducing movement.
Mouse ergonomics is a completely separate can of worms.
- maltalex 9y agoI was talking about reducing strain and fatigue. Moving your whole hand over the mouse over and over again introduces quite a lot of fatigue. This is why the keyboard and mouse aren’t separate problems. A keyboard that doesn’t have an integrated mouse solves only part of the problem. That’s why I like having a trackpoint for small mouse movements.
- rovr138 9y agoThe Advantage in my case helped reduce the strain of the positioning of the hands. When I have to travel and switch back to the MBP's keyboard, the position of my hands on the keyboard definitely causes discomfort if I have to type for more than a few hours a day. I don't mind having to switch to the mouse. It gives me time to take both hands of my keyboard and change their positions even if for a little bit.
