I have a wrist pain. At first, I thought it was because of my weight training, but I found out it only happens when I’m using the computer. After searching for an ergonomic keyboard, I wanted to give it a try. And now, the wrist pain is gone. I’m so happy with it.
This is my first keyboard. I have a smol brain and want to start with the easy mode, so I bought a fully built keyboard. I chose the K:02 because it uses USB-C, has an OLED, a number row, Vial, and it’s WHITE (I like white).
This is a great start, and since I’m in this rabbit hole, I thought I would build another keyboard for the office. Which one should I buy or build?
P.S: At first, I couldn’t type properly. It was weird, but now I’m happy with my typing speed of 40 WPM (yeah, it’s still too slow)
FYI: I’m using a tactile switch for the homerow and a linear switch for anything else.
Using an ergo keyboard (ultimately my own design, but starting with a Kinesis) has really helped my wrist pain. I ended up making sure portability was part of my design, because I found that using my laptop, even for a fairly short period of time, makes the wrist pain start to come back.
