Just a quick shout out to Microsoft (no affiliation) - Their Sculpt keyboard has taken all the discomfort out of 15hour coding sessions. If you're a professional developer, get one.
- yreg 7y agoI'd recommend avoiding 15-hour coding sessions over using an ergonomic keyboard.
- lbj 7y agoProbably better. But when the motivation grabs me, I cant stop.
- lunixbochs 7y agoThe Sculpt and Kensington expert trackball (big trackball, not thumb trackball), while not fixing my issues completely, did improve things for me quite a bit. That said, barring genetic lottery, as the sibling said: enough 15 hour sessions are going to give you RSI no matter what you’re typing on. There’s no way to do that every day, and exercise, take breaks, and sleep enough. Balance is important.
- lbj 7y agoI agree. Worst streak was 18 months of those session nearly daily. Was a bit rough at the end.
- war1025 7y ago> taken all the discomfort out of 15hour coding sessions I can't imagine working 15 hours straight would be comfortable for me no matter what tools I was using.
- jedberg 7y agoI've been using the Microsoft Natural Ergo for 20+ years. It's the very first thing I ask for when I get a new job, or if they don't supply keyboards, the first thing I bring from home. I've never had any RSI type symptoms or even fatigue after long typing sessions. The sculpt seems to just be a fancier wireless version of the same thing (although I haven't tried it so I could be wrong).
