What's so great about ortholinear keyboards? I'm typing on one right now, but I'm not sure I prefer it over the staggered one so much. It's easier to find where each key is, for sure, but I don't know if the adjustment hassle is worth it.
- nothrabannosir 7y agoIt's about the angle your left wrist makes to hit that top row. If you only extend your fingers linearly, keeping a staggered keyboard aligned with a "neutral" left wrist means basically a 90° angle. Anything less and you're twisting your wrist horizontally. For me that's the most painful, and anecdotally I hear twisting your wrists is a notorious contributor to injury. But, as always, do your own randomized controlled trial if you want to be sure :)
