I think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc.
Is this a style already, or would I need to build my own?
I am completely new to this domain and would appreciate advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts.
But really, what data can I look at to improve my ergonomics? I may not be the perfect human, so I might need weird little this-or-thats to help get me there.
And, if it doesn’t feel stretchy at all? Its just hopping my finger a bit over. I don’t strain.
For the critics: training wheels help lead to biking. Stop shaming my training wheel request :(
Stop whining. They’re trying to help give you training wheels. They’re responding with their experience, and you’re being hypercritical about semantics.
If you go to a medical expert complaining about pain, do you get offended when they tell you how to fix it? And for the natural response “they aren’t doctors”, well (a) they may be and (b) if you really want the level of help you’d expect from a medical professional, perhaps don’t ask the internet.
What the fuck is so offensively wrong that I inquired about a keyboard that works for the way I type?
Your altruistic excuses and coming up with fallacious examples as if they are the same thing.
Every example that you “appropriate” insults another group of people.
You’re a terrible human; that’s what’s offensively wrong.
Very kind of you. Is this how I should speak to people? Tell then they are a terrible human because I’m asking about something and there was some discontent?
Please just be kind. Golden rule dude.
You keep pretending you are innocent here.
Everyone that you’re complaining about, only gave you attitude after you responded to them with attitude. And they gave it back in the same amount, but you took offense.
And now you wanted an answer, you got it, and you’re still trying to take the high ground. Also, don’t preach golden rule and be kind when you the one breaking it first….
Fucking lmfao.
If you see an asshole in the morning, you saw an asshole, if you see assholes all day, you’re the asshole. This quote couldn’t be more accurate to explain you.
Thank you. Your kindness is outstanding
You want me to be guilty, ok. You can think that.
Have a good day.
I don’t need to think anything, your responses to people than asking why the hostility is all the proof anyone needs.
You got hostility because you were hostile, it’s literally that simple, if you can’t see this, get some help instead of dragging everyone down around you with you.
You don’t hear my voice. You are choosing to read my messages with hostility. Idc. You want me to apologize because you don’t like my joke?
Stop harassing me because you want me to be the made-up person you’re imagining.
For me, ergonomically at a desk, i have to try like fuck to keep my upper arms as close to downward as humanly possible, elbows about 90° and forearms NEVER more than 90° outward or I will royally fuck this dipshit muscle UNDERNEATH either one of my scapulas that can only be partially reached with a tens unit. I mitigated this with seat height, table height, monitor position, and a short keyboard so going for my mouse doesn’t have me exceeding 90°. As for key overlap on a split keyboard, I say fuck yes. I don’t touch type “the right way” and depending on a word, a hotkey, or some application shenanigan, I might be all over the place.
I also use an mmo mouse at work and I assign all kinds of goodies to it, which also helps reduce repetitive typing+stretching.
