Keyboards, Mice & Ergonomics
Keep your wrists happy.
Repetitive strain doesn’t happen overnight — it builds slowly from small ergonomic issues in how you type and use your mouse. The right keyboard and mouse setup can significantly reduce wrist, forearm, and shoulder discomfort during long work sessions.
What to Look For
- Split or Curved Keyboards — These reduce inward wrist bending and promote a more natural hand position while typing.
- Vertical or Ergonomic Mice — Designed to keep your forearm in a neutral position instead of twisting it flat against the desk.
- Wrist Support — A soft wrist rest for both keyboard and mouse areas can reduce pressure during long hours of use.
- Wireless Setup — Helps reduce cable clutter and gives you more flexibility in positioning your hands comfortably.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are ergonomic keyboards difficult to get used to?
There is usually a short adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks, especially with split designs. Most users adapt quickly and find them more comfortable long-term.
Do I need both an ergonomic mouse and keyboard?
Not necessarily. If you’re starting out, choose the device that causes you the most discomfort first — usually the mouse — and upgrade the rest later if needed.
