Keyboard Ergonomics and Hand Health

Long-term typists protect wrists, shoulders, and eyes with simple habits.

Micro-breaks

Every twenty to thirty minutes, pause for twenty seconds: drop shoulders, open hands, look away from the screen. Timers and pomodoro apps help when you hyperfocus.

Hardware

Low-profile keyboards reduce finger travel for some users. Others prefer tactile switches for feedback. There is no single best board — comfort is personal.
