I have a friend who struggled with RSI for years, tried every keyboard and mouse under the sun, and nothing worked.
Then he quit the job he hated, got a job he enjoyed (both coding), and his RSI went away in a week. Sometimes it really is psychosomatic (which doesn't mean the pain is fake).
Personally I've had mild wrist pain since college (10+ years). Decent posture, a reasonable keyboard, letting my arms form a natural angle, and floating my wrists above the keyboard seems to help. My hands cramp up after 20min of typing in a narrow airplane seat for example. But I can type for hours on my ipad magic keyboard in my lap or my ergonomic mechanical keyboard just fine.
- cenamus 1y agoYeah the laptop position works really well from a wrist/typing position for me, but of cource mouse and screen are still terrible with a laptop. Maybe half a thinkpad would be a decent keyboard format, if it's wireless and a bit ergonomically formed to fit the legs?
