[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago (3 children) When I was a kid they taught us how to type in school. But they taught everybody how to type wrong: with your hands parallel to each other, instead of wrists straight. I nearly got carpal tunnel syndrome and had to learn how to type a second time! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) I learned to keep my hands like that thanks to a really weird looking A4Tech ergonomic keyboard, then I realized I could just keep my wrists like that on any keyboard. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago* I used to have one of those ergonomic keyboards at my last job. Took a week probably to get fully used to (I typed all day). But I recall liking it. I have small hands but even I feel like most keyboards are cramped. Especially laptop ones. the egonomic one felt more open and relaxed. But it was wonky to use at first. Was something like this one. permalink fedilink source parent [–] amgine@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago We were taught the same. With a paper over our hands so we couldn’t cheat. My hands naturally moved off home row because it felt awkward to have my wrists bent. I hate the “natural” keyboards but my hands rest like they’re designed permalink fedilink source parent [–] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago Split keyboards for the win! Mine and my wife's Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 is the epitome of "perfect keyboard". We both dread the day they die since they're no longer available. permalink fedilink source parent
