I've been using a split keyboard (Kinesis Freestyle 2) and Colemak for almost 10 years. Some comments: 1. Monitor. You need to place your monitor higher. Your neck and shoulder pain is not caused by the keyboard but by your hunched-over position. 2. Chair armrests. Having proper positioning of your elbows greatly helps/hurts your typing style. Having armrests that have width and height adjustments is great. 3. Glasses. If you work that many hours on the computer, you might want to consider fixed-focal-length, blue-light reducing, anti-glare, high-index, titanium-framed, lightweight glasses. In short, glasses normally are made for reading (12" away) or driving (30+ feet). However, having custom computer glasses for 3 ft. distance is a great benefit for computer use. 4. R&R. Your needs need relaxation. I sugest a minimum of 10 min. every 2 hrs. However, be aware that this 10 min. relaxation is for your eyes, not your brain. You need to spend that 10 min. focusing on something in the far distance. Just closing your eyes for 10 min. DOES NOT RELAX your eye muscles.

The main thing I don't like about the Freestyle 2 is that the '6' key is on the left hand. The '6' belongs on the right hand. It's done that way because it makes the split between the two halves look nicer. I did discover recently that the Kinesis Ascent lets me mount the split segments vertically, but some of the keys are in just a slightly different position than a normal keyboard.

I think the biggest mistake people make when moving to an ergonomic layout is too not move the location of the most commonly used key, ie backspace. Put it under your thumb, possibly next to space. Space is under your thumb because you use it a lot, moving to an ergonomic layout you will make mistakes so put backspace next to space and you won't have to worry about losing your home row. Ctl, alt, space, back space, enter are all under my thumbs on my Ergodox layout.

@wolf10662 жыл бұрын
When I designed my own split-ortholinear keyboard, the backspace key was placed under my right thumb right next to the Enter key - it gets a lot of use.

The best thing you can do for ergonomics, is to ditch QWERTY itself. It's brutal, and it takes a whole month; but the result is definitely more comfortable. I originally started learning Dvorak; but I found that the L and S locations were TERRIBLE for interactive use of POSIX-like shells. Colemak was the layout I ended-up going with, and I've been using it ever since -- for over a decade. I type the same speeds on QWERTY and Colemak, with a similarish error rate (Colemak is slightly better), but my fingers move a lot less overall, and it *is* somewhat noticeably more comfortable after long periods.

Don't go with Dvorak though, there's even someone with 5 years or more with it that switched off. Outdated and only based off a few hundred words. The research on it working was mostly conducted by the maker themself TLDR: Don't use Dvorak. I used to love Dvorak though 😔

Could you list the stretches you do? Just curious
@FatHulkRideEbike3 жыл бұрын
@@BYCARRIE Mostly normal stretches. I try to stretch every major muscle group, but for someone who types all the time there is one stretch that I did find particularly effective for the shoulders and upper back and spine. I will try to describe it and a couple others I found most effective. (Stretch 1) I do this by using a doorway. Left arm / shoulder: While standing close to the corner of the doorway. Hold your left arm out straight in front of you and put your left elbow on the corner of the doorway. Move your right shoulder toward your left elbow to get a good shoulder stretch. While holding that position step forward with your right foot as well to put a gently twist on your spine. Hold for 30 seconds or one minute. I use a youtube interval timer. This is a powerful stretch and it is easy to put too much torque on your shoulder or spine so be careful. The rule I use for myself for stretching is I push it until I feel a tiny bit of pain and either keep it there or back off slightly. There is another way to do this stretch but I'm a guy with wide shoulders and I have quite a bit of muscle. This will work for larger people while some of the other variations won't. Prior to doing this stretch my upper back was so sore I thought I had cancer or something lol. 5 minutes after doing this I felt great! This is what got me into stretching every day. Ok, rambling on... (Stretch 2) Stretching my quads without killing my knees. This is also a very powerful stretch. I use a stairway with a railing on each side and I use these railings so I don't get hurt. Start at the bottom of the stairway...all the way down, not on the first step. Standing position, facing away from the stairs. Grab each railing. Bend one knee, and place your foot on the third stair (most likely the right level, you might want the fourth if you are tall and flexible). Your foot is on the stair, but it is the top of your foot on the stair. Your knee will rest on the first stair. Control your lean with the railings to get a good quad stretch. You are using your knee bend to stretch your quad but you are also pushing your hip forward to stretch your quad. The railings and the stairs give you an effective way to stretch your quads and balance the stretch with the bend of your knee and pushing your hip forward so you do not over tax either the hip or knee. Repeat with other leg. Do not hurt yourself this is a very powerful stretch. Every other stretch I do is pretty normal and you can find anywhere. Order of the stretches I do that works for me: Stretch to open chest, shoulder stretch, open chest again, touch toes, calf stretch, hamstring / glute stretch using stairs, quad stretches on stairs, hip flexors, forearm stretches, and finish with seated stretch for inner thighs. For an IT / office worker, the shoulder stretch I described and all leg stretches help a ton! I try to stretch in the morning and at night. I started out just doing 5 minutes a day and using one of the youtube interval timers. ( just search for "30 second interval timer with 5 second rest" later I switched to "1 minute interval timer with 5 second rest") If you are feeling tight from sitting all day and feeling hopeless I will tell you that even just 5 minutes of stretching a day can literally change your life. Potentially it is a small effort with huge rewards. How I think stretching benefits me....this is my opinion: General improved feeling of well-being. Vastly reduced or eliminated muscle pain and discomfort. Reduces feelings of stress. I also think it improves circulation. Increased ease of mobility. I plan on continuing to stretch my entire life. Other recommendations for office workers if you work at home and can control your environment: Get a good standing desk. Walking treadmill is a nice add-on. Get a good office chair! I used to use the $100 officemax chairs. I changed to a steelcase leap. Game changer. It's interesting how people will pay $600 for a recliner they might use an hour a day but don't want to spend a lot on a chair they use 8, 10, or 12 hours a day. Make this investment in yourself or see if your company will pay for it. C989M keyboard also worked great for me but you have to see what works for you. I hope this helps someone!!

You're right that taking frequent breaks is the best solution, but one of these certainly helps.

I switched to Microsoft's Ergo Sculpt in 2018. Since I'm a software engineer, and type A LOT, I had a lot of pain in my wrists. I'm also a body builder, so my shoulder size didn't make it better with the angle my wrists had to bend to reach all the keys on a normal keyboard. But the slight angling and elevation that this keyboard gave me not only took away the pain, it also made me a lot faster at typing. Thanks for this review. Microsoft doesn't produce the Ergo sculpt any more, so I am on the hunt for something remotely as good.

@SaplinGuy5 ай бұрын
The thing to consider as well is that a month is not actually that long. You take many days to get used to the new layout and spacing, which is not something you have to do regularly if you stay on the same keyboard. Also, as I see others have commented on, moving often used keys to more practical positions is a game-changer. I personally moved shift to my right thumb, and I will never go back. Having my pinky constrained to a specific key makes the rest of that hand SO much worse at the touch typing I usually do, this was my primary motivation for getting a custom keyboard. Adding layers and thus getting symbols, numbers and arrow keys to better positions also helped a lot. I love my custom split keyboard more than I thought I would, and I know I'm only gonna love it more as I understand better and better how to personalise it for how MY typing style

Cool to see others discovering split and ortholinear keyboards! I would recommend a palm rest. That might help with some of the "new pain" you felt when switching. And as some others mentioned the correct table height is also important. As a Ultimate Hacking keyboard (with tenting kit and palm rest) and Kinesis Advantage 2 user I don't think I could have a keyboard again without palm rest.

Just the thing I was thinking looking at those raised hands at the footage. Funny thing, armwrist also gets getting used to. I had to sort of force my hands to stay at the armwrist and remember to totally relax and fix my hands on it. Ofc if youre gonna leave bkspc and esc at their original positions, then youre gonna need to move your wrist, but when going 36 keys you just kinda don't move at all.
@KateLate____ Жыл бұрын
I think if you have palm pain, just resting on something softer is targeting the symptom rather than the cause. Check what is being strained and why. You may need to speak to a physiotherapist for diagnosis. Beware not to have your wrists flexed back or at an unnatural angle.

This made me really want to purchase a split keyboard that I can tent, but I wasn't ready to reprogram my muscle memory to ortho or columer (spelling?). Now have my split keyboard with a staggered layout, and I love it. I have the two halves at about shoulder width apart, and it's great for me. Between work, school, and personal projects I type pretty much all day. Going to a split layout was a game changer for me, I don't want to go back to a standard. I refuse LOL

I got myself a split keyboard like 6 weeks ago - the Dygma "Raise" - and I love it. While it is a split keyboard, it keeps the staggered set of the keys. I love the possibility of changing the angle and distance between each half, depending on my sitting position and posture. I still need to improve on my touch typing, as my old typing style was not that disciplined. Gaming is also great, as you can move the right, unused part of the keyboard out of the way to better adjust the distance between left hand and the mouse.
