"Ergonomic" has become a great buzzword. These keyboards are not ergonomic. While they protect against ulnar deviation, they do not protect against pronation and dorsiflexion. Note that you WILL still get RSI from using these keyboards.
- dpark 13y ago> "Ergonomic" has become a great buzzword. These keyboards are not ergonomic. "Ergonomic" is not a binary switch. A thing is not simply "ergonomic" or not. And more importantly, what is ergonomic varies based on the user. For the author, these keyboards are presumably more ergonomic than alternatives. For you, they might not be. > Note that you WILL still get RSI from using these keyboards. That's a rather strong claim, especially considering that many people never get RSI even from standard keyboards.
- brendoncrawford 13y agoGood points. This is a very cool project, and it will be fun to watch it progress.
- obrajesse 13y agoI use 'ergonomic' to describe the general category of keyboard. I wouldn't even begin to claim that my keyboards (or ANY keyboard) will protect you from getting RSI. If you have recommendations for better buzzwords, I'm all ears.
- brendoncrawford 13y agoUnderstandable. Thanks for explaining. I will be looking forward to watching this project progress. If you ever make a vertical keyboard, I might buy a lifetime supply :)
- obrajesse 13y agoThanks :) How do you deal with arm fatigue when using a vertical keyboard?
- brendoncrawford 13y agoYeah, arm and shoulder fatigue is definitely an issue at first. After about 2 - 3 months the muscles develop, so it is no longer an issue.
