Title: Hello!
Post by: RyanArr on Mon, 26 October 2015, 13:33:08

Been lurking for a while. I'm a sysadmin working from home typing all day long. Got interested in different keyboard options since I started developing some mean wrist pain using my Apple chiclit boards.

Welcome! And be sure to check out our Ergonomics board (https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=125.0) and some of the sweet ergo keyboards out there, like the Diverge II (http://uniquekeyboard.com/store/diverge-ii), Ergodox, or Matias Ergo Pro.

Thanks, I actually just got a Matias Ergo Pro. Working pretty well other than some layout issues.

Ouch hopefully the matias will help ya out. I used to get wrist pain as well using my terrible rubber dome board. Welcome to GH :)

Welcome to Geekhack!

There are many mechanical keyboard options to try to alleviate wrist pain.

Including the simple ergonomics of your workspace and, perhaps, the use of a wrist rest.

Others have pointed you at the ergonomics sub-forum, hopefully there will be some information therein to assist.
