Just reading the responses here - am I the only person who has zero problem using a trackpad and keyboard with my hands for >=8 hours a day? Maybe it's that I'm not a designer and so the precision of my motions isn't such that I'd experience problems like this. I think the only problem I've ever had was back when I tried using a Microsoft Natural keyboard, and my hands were sore after an hour.
Also, good for her, finding a solution that works well for her, strange though it seems at first blush. I like her work, too.
- meowface 12y agoI use my hands and wrists a whole lot, and regularly type upward of 140 WPM, but I've never experienced any RSI. I imagine genetics plays a fairly big role.
- dendory 12y agoSame, using computers every waking moment, no wrist issue. Personally I attribute it to the way I type. I never learned to type 'properly', instead I use two fingers and my hands move all over the place. I still type very fast. No issue, tho.
- stefantalpalaru 12y ago> am I the only person who has zero problem using a trackpad and keyboard with my hands for >=8 hours a day? Of course not, it's just selection bias. People without similar problems don't feel the need to provide contrasting (and unavoidably boring) stories.
- parasubvert 12y agoNo problem here either, and I've been at a computer at least an hour - usually more - a day since I was 8 (I'm now 37). I did have some keyboards that cause more "tired hands" than others in the past. I also prefer trackpads to mice. Lately I'm using Apple keyboard/trackpads.
