Recommendations for small hands?

<< < (2/2)

tp4tissue:
If you can do an octave as a pianist, then your hands arn't small such that a different size computer keyboard will make a difference in reach.

HOWEVER, a Split board, like ERGODOX @ 70* degrees of tenting will make a WORLD of difference.

Lily58 if you want a number row. Corne if you don't.

I recommend a split spacebar keyboard :)

sypl:
Almost all keyboards have standard spacing, as you've already discovered. I would suggest if it's your pinky that's giving you problems because of reaching for CTRL (otherwise known as Emacs pinky), try learning to mush ctrl with the fleshy outer part of your palm (hypothenar region, apparently). It's just a quick rotation of your hand and minimal pressure, your hands will thank you for it.
