Ergonomic keyboard and mouse reviews, wrist pain prevention guides, and peripheral setup guidance — backed by occupational health research, not marketing claims.
⌨️ Keyboards
Split, tented, and curved keyboards compared — with specific guidance on which type addresses which symptoms. Includes wireless and mechanical options.
🖱️ Mice
Vertical mice, trackballs, and ergonomic horizontal mice compared. Which design helps which type of RSI, and how to size a mouse correctly.
⚠️ Pain Relief
Carpal tunnel vs. tendinitis vs. de Quervain's — how to identify what you have, what helps each condition, and when to see a doctor.
🖥️ Setup
How to position dual monitors to avoid neck rotation, the difference between horizontal and stacked setups, and which works best for your workflow.
Neutral wrist position during typing: wrists straight (not bent up, down, or sideways), elbows at 90° or slightly open, arms hanging relaxed from shoulders. The keyboard should be low enough that you don't have to raise your elbows or extend your wrists to reach it. Most people set their keyboard too high.
Lower-actuation-force mechanical switches (45g and under — Kailh Speed Silver, Cherry MX Red) require less finger force than typical membrane keyboards, which may reduce fatigue in high-volume typists. The bigger benefit of mechanical keyboards is often the encouragement to use proper typing technique — but they're not a medical intervention.
Only for resting, not for active mouse use. A gel wrist rest keeps the wrist elevated during pauses — fine. Pressing the wrist down on a gel pad while actively mousing compresses the carpal tunnel. If you need a wrist rest while mousing, your desk or chair is likely too high. Fix the height first.
Your hand should be able to grip the mouse with fingers relaxed and slightly curved — not stretched out flat or cramped. Measure from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger; mice are generally sized small (under 4"), medium (4–4.5"), and large (4.5"+). Using an undersized mouse forces finger cramping; oversized forces awkward wrist angles.
