natural keyboards?

[mr. piper]

I will have my hands free from dressings soon and i will be able to use a keyboard again. i have been told that nat. kybds are much more relaxing? Is this true? or is it another marketing ploy by the sirius cybernetics corporation (apols d.adams!) or whatever?

I can only tell you of my own experience. Early last year after suffering excruciating pain in the fingers of my left hand, I was diagnosed with RSI, a condition which I had always believed was just an excuse for malingerers to avoid work and sue their bosses. Being self-employed, I figured that wasn't the cause in my case :�)

At the time a was using a famous name "natural keyboard". After 12 weeks of accupuncture and rest, the condition was much better. What finally seemed to cure it was when I swapped my keyboard for a clunking great Dell of 1995 vintage.

I agree. I started a new jod a couple of months ago and I got a nat. keyboard that I am using to type this. I am young, healthy and swim 6 nights a week but I am getting pains in my hands, my wrists in particular. i think it's because of the perculiar angles that you have to adopt hwen using this keyboard.
