Split keyboard with double middle keys?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc.
Is this a style already, or would I need to build my own?
I am completely new to this domain and would appreciate advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts.
so what you're saying is... moving your arm outwards to use the mouse is more ergonomic than moving it inwards? 🤔
Yes? Inward shoulder rotation is a big factor in rounded shoulder/"computer guy" hunch.
So, the inward rotation I use to access my keyboard is the same problem.
yeah that's why you should split it in half and move them apart
Absolutely. Since your arms aren’t along your body’s symmetrical plane but are offset.
And moving your arm to the center of that requires pushing against your torso/chest.
I’m getting exhausted just thinking about it
I have to move my right arm inward every time I have to type. If it's exhausting thinking about it, imagin actually having to do it every day for my work :(
