Title: Ergo Quickie tips
Post by: Jokrik on Thu, 12 February 2015, 02:13:35

Well I think this might be education
at least it opens up my eyes what to do when typing

Why does the youtube function doesn't work  :-X

Works fine :)

The video wasn't that interesting TBH and there is no comment on how to type as you mentioned.

Some great tips there.  I totally agree with this guy when he talks about keyboard trays at around the 2:20 mark in the video.  @jacobolus  -- he puts it more elegantly than I do (as per a conversation we were having in a different thread)

I don’t think he ends up with a very comfortable position in the end (his arms are stretched way out in front of his body), but notice that he lowered his whole desk to right above his lap. That’s exactly in line with my advice in that other thread. :-)

He slumps too much, but the principles are good. One thing not mentioned is arm angle and typing style, but it's good video overall.

Better than the "mechanical switches" video which only talks about MX Blues, Reds, Blacks and Browns.

um... it's probably too general to be helpful...
