An ergonomic keyboard, also known as a split keyboard or comfort keyboard, is designed to reduce strain and improve typing posture. It features a split layout and angled keys that promote a more natural hand, wrist, and forearm position, helping to prevent repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. These keyboards are ideal for people who spend long hours typing and experience discomfort or pain with traditional keyboards. By supporting a comfortable typing experience, ergonomic keyboards can enhance productivity and reduce fatigue, making them a valuable accommodation for individuals with musculoskeletal challenges or those seeking a healthier workspace setup.
Place the ergonomic keyboard at a comfortable height and angle to keep wrists straight and relaxed. Adjust the split sections to match shoulder width and natural hand positioning. Use a wrist rest if needed to support your palms without putting pressure on them. Take regular breaks to stretch hands and arms. Keep the keyboard clean by wiping it down weekly and avoid eating near it to maintain smooth key function and hygiene.
