From the article: "This is the Way"
Also: "The hands should move freely over the keyboard"
These are good examples of why we should not listen to advice based on a single example of RSI and contradicts the conclusion "no universal solution for everybody"
A lot of people experience contraction and sometimes pains in the shoulders, trapezium, arms due to moving the hands over the keyboard instead of not doing so.
It's a well documented problem.
- robotmay 6y agoAh perhaps it’s not clear enough that those 3 items are my own ideals and I wouldn’t claim them to be correct for everybody. The article exists precisely because I was seeing comments arguing entirely to the contrary, such as “movement is bad”, which I know to be wrong for me. There is a lot of cognitive bias towards the one way of solving RSI (buy an ergonomic keyboard) which then frustrates those for whom it doesn’t work. I’m hoping to offer a different experience which worked for me.
