Ergonomic Keyboards – Kensington Comfort Type – Kinesis Keyboard

The Kensington Comfort Type USB Keyboard is a low cost ergnomic keyboard that I use. It has angled keys to force a comfortable, relaxed wrist position and light action for easy touch typing. It is easier to switching to than the other keyboard I use…

The Kinesis Advantage USB Keyboard is an ergnomic keyboard that I also use. It has a split design that keeps your wrists in a more natural straight out position, rather than twisted inwards. The Delete, Back space, return, Space keys are used often, so they are positioned so your more powerful thumb can hit it. It took me about a week to get used to it, but it is worth it.

Kinesis also makes a lower cost Freestyle solo USB keyboard

Try to visit a store to test out more expensive keyboards. A lot of their ergonomics has to do with how far apart your hands are in a neutral position and how big your hands are.

I have these two keyboards and switch between them during the day.  This prevents my hands from getting stuck in one position for too long.
