I read a lot of books about it and learned how to fix the bad habits that had led to it. Pascarelli's was probably the best.

Another takeaway is that if you are going to get a split keyboard (if) you should get an adjustable split keyboard. The position of the two halves depends on the distance between your shoulders and the length of your arms, and you may have noticed, not all humans are alike. So fixed split keyboards are mostly ergonomics theater.

Ok, expanding what you had said about keyboards into this: yes. I can agree here. Split kbs are VASTLY superior in nearly all instances, simply because they allow you to adjust more.

None of which is to say that the Microsoft Natural was a bad keyboard. It was a fine keyboard in a lot of ways. But it probably won't cure what ails you by itself.

10 degrees of wrist flexion multiplied by a billion hours in front of a PC can account for a lot, I'll bet. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good!

Oh and also you should probably stop "emitting" on to your keyboard because that's not ergonomic either, dude.

How do you think I blew out my wrist to begin with?
