nice post! I didn't know that its best to have the keyboard tilted DOWNWARDS! it makes sense though.
How come there are no keyboards that let you tild them downwards away from you? The keyboard legs being on the far end seems to be totally against what that webpage is saying.
Yes, I never did resort to using the feet on the keyboards because I thought they would tilt the keyboard in the wrong direction
TIME FOR A CURVE BALL!!!
Many times, the GREATEST of all positions i think, is to take the keyboard entirely off the desk and have it flat on your lap. typing that way.
Tried this recently in my quest for the perfect ahem the viable ergonomics. The height could be OK, the big problem is to keep the keyboard steady on the lap. Still researching a solution to this problem, though.
This, except I like to have a low desk with the keyboard and mouse on it and my monitors sitting on risers. I suppose if I had a tray that was very sturdy then I would probably be happy with that, but all the trays I've used are cheap wobbly things. Doesnt matter if you have a $150 keyboard built solid as a tank, if you put it on a flimsy plastic thing that wobbles around, it still feels like **** to me.
I second that (keyboard on the desk and risers for the monitors or laptop), but sometimes have to find other solutions, like when there's no proper desk, or I cannot adjust the height of the chair etc.
Hand position is what counts, not what the hand is resting on - in fact it shouldn't be resting on anything while you are typing:
I'm pretty sure that the light RSI I'm suffering from (ok, let's not be a sissy : I'm slightly annoyed with) comes from working exclusively on laptops for the last few years. I did rest the palms on the laptop while typing, and it indeed felt comfortable.
As for the keyboard legs, desk height, etc - everything should be tweaked to get you that neutral hand position.
That's my quest today
