Ergonomic Keyboards

“My wrists feel tense whilst I’m typing.”

You may benefit from using an ergonomic keyboard. Ergonomic keyboards offer you a number of ergonomic advantages including enhanced slopes to reduce wrist pronation. This means that your wrist will be at less of an angle to your forearm, minimising tension in this joint area.

Your wrist may also feel tense because of the artificial position adopted when using an ordinary keyboard. The split design ergonomic keyboard encourages a more natural wrist posture which has been recommended by leading ergonomic office equipment experts.

Some ergonomic keyboards have the added benefit of giving you the option of a removable palm lift. This creates a reverse slope which again encourages a posture more natural to your wrists.

My Ergonomic Office recommends the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 as an ergonomic keyboard offering all these solutions to help ease tension in your wrists when typing.

“My fingers quickly get sore when using my normal keyboard.”

The natural arc incorporated into several of our ergonomic keyboards copies the naturally curved position of your fingertips. This helps to reduce the distance necessary to reach each key, producing better finger placement and requiring less effort as a result. The Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 is thus invaluable in maintaining productivity, helping you type more comfortably for longer.

“I’d like an ergonomic keyboard that is also USB compatible.”

At My Ergonomic Office we have a range of ergonomic keyboards that are both PS2 and usb compatible. To see our range click on the following link: ergonomic keyboards.

“I’ve just started using an ergonomic keyboard and it feels slightly strange.”

It is perfectly natural to experience some inertia when learning new hand positions with ergonomic keyboards. This is primarily due to the habits you have previously developed but should decrease as you become increasingly familiar with your new ergonomic keyboard.

“What are the advantages of using a mini-keyboard?”

Mini-keyboards are ideal for using on the move when weight and size are your primary considerations. Combining a lightweight keyboard with a laptop support and vertical mouse allows you to create your own ergonomic work place wherever you are. Our Smartboard - Mini Keyboard offers you just this flexibility.
