I love the ergonomic keyboard -- I've worn one out already. It only took a
day or two to get used to it when I got it about four years ago. Then I had
such a bad wrist injury from overworking on the computer that I switched to
a split keyboard. What a lifesaver -- I had honestly thought my writing life
was over! I can never understand why ergonomic keyboards are not the
standard -- they really do ease the unnatural straight position of the
forearms and wrists. Whenever I have to go to one of the magazines I work
for, and do cutlines or whatever on a standard keyboard, the old wrists
start to burn immediately. Now if only I could find a mouse that doesn't
give me dreadful aches and pains!
