I have to disagree with this.. I'm 6'1 and had bad posture for most of my life. I had the same issues with pain that you describe. But recently I've put a lot of work into it having better posture and I don't have any problems anymore. You just need the right desk/chair height and sit up straight without resting your back on the backrest.
Something like this is really helpful: https://www.amazon.com/Posture-Corrector-Men-Women-Truweo/dp/B07DKHTKP3 https://www.amazon.com/Posture-Corrector-Men-Women-Truweo/dp...
If you've never put effort into having good posture then you probably don't have the muscles that you need. Doing yoga, or any kind of core exercise, is also really helpful. I can't tell you enough how much better I feel having built up some real core strength. I used to hurt my back all the time but that never happens anymore!
Just my $.02 :)
- CraigJPerry 5y agoI don’t know, there really is something to it - i bought a Zsa Moonlander keyboard last year which is two split halves. I instantly felt a comfort i’ve never had before or since around my shoulder blades. It was really satisfying. That said, i sold the keyboard after only a few months and i’m back to a normal style keyboard so it wasn’t that big a deal clearly.
- ktm5j 5y agoOh I'm not trying to say which keyboard setup is better than the other.. just that I think a normal keyboard works fine if you've got some core strength and good posture. But you know, that's totally just like, my opinion man.
