Ergonomic Keyboards for Wrist and Hand Pain

Improve Comfort with an Ergonomic Keyboard

A well-designed ergonomic keyboard can significantly reduce wrist, hand, and forearm pain caused by traditional keyboards. By switching to an ergonomic keyboard, users can experience improved comfort, better posture, and reduced strain-related discomfort. When paired with an ergonomic mouse, an ergonomic keyboard helps keep hands in a neutral position, which can also alleviate shoulder pain. Adding a wrist rest further supports proper hand positioning by providing a cushioned palm rest.

What is an Ergonomic Keyboard?

An ergonomic keyboard is specifically designed to enhance user comfort and minimise the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSI). Traditional keyboards often force awkward hand and wrist postures, leading to long-term discomfort. Many office professionals perform over 10,000 keystrokes per hour, making keyboard ergonomics essential in preventing pain and fatigue.

Compact Ergonomic Keyboards

Compact ergonomic keyboards eliminate excessive width found in traditional keyboards, allowing for better mouse placement and reducing shoulder strain. The absence of a numeric keypad brings the mouse closer, minimising wrist and shoulder discomfort. These keyboards often include function keys for shortcuts, enhancing productivity.

Split Key Ergonomic Keyboards

Split keyboards divide the keys into two sections, creating a more natural hand position. This reduces wrist deviation, relieving stress on the wrist bones and forearm muscles. Available in both fixed and adjustable designs, split keyboards provide optimal comfort for users experiencing wrist pain.

How to Set Up a Keyboard Ergonomically

Proper keyboard positioning is essential for preventing discomfort. Follow these ergonomic guidelines:

• Shoulder and Elbow Position: Keep shoulders relaxed and elbows at a 90-100-degree angle.
• Document Placement: Use a document holder to reduce neck strain when referencing papers.
• Keyboard Position: Position the keyboard 6-7cm from the desk edge for forearm support.
• Wrist Alignment: Keep wrists straight and avoid unnecessary extension by using a flat keyboard.
• Take Regular Breaks: Stretch and move every 5-10 minutes per hour to prevent strain.
