When you have your fingers contorted and under stress trying to hold two keys down, thats when RSI really kicks in.
I would go out on a limb and say that these keyboard are going to make one's RSI even worse.
- ChymeraXYZ 7y agoIf you program the keyboard slightly smart then the modifier key is always on the other hand than the "primary" key. I'm not going to claim what it does for/against RSI, but I have been using a split 40% for the last 3 years and I never looked back, in terms of comfort.
- jdietrich 7y agoThe modifiers are placed under the thumbs, so no contortion is necessary. Try it yourself - with the possible exception of the B and Y keys, you can reach all the alpha keys perfectly comfortably with your thumb simultaneously pressing the space bar.
- the_gipsy 7y agoYou're only holding down a few more modifiers on a 40, and with the thumbs which are underused on a full. Also finger/hand positions are definitely much more contorted, or spread, on a full keyboard.
