I had terrible wrist pain until I fully switched to a split keyboard, and the final 10% of the pain went away when it became both split and tented. I can relapse with a single weekend of using something truly ergonomically terrible, like a laptop keyboard. But other than that, never think about my wrists any more.
I’m currently using a crazy custom built split mechanical ergonomic keyboard, but the first thing I tried was a Microsoft Ergonomic pseudo-split keyboard, which wasn’t pain free but clearly a huge improvement over a regular keyboard so I kept pushing it.
Interestingly I now also prefer split console controllers like the Switch Joycons and the Oculus Quest controllers. The JoyCons are a little too small, but I still prefer them over a traditional controller or PC games. Any controller that forces a wrist position feels barbaric.
~same. I use a Kinesis Freestyle with 20″ cord, that finally ~fixed my wrists after 4 years, and I’m extremely excited for the Kinesis Advantage360 coming out some time this year.
