Working With Keyboards

Now a days keyboards are classified by two designs, a traditional straight design or a newer ergonomic design as shown below.

These ergonomic keyboards are designed for safe and comfortable interaction between human and machine. Ergonomically safer keyboards keep your wrists high and straight. Some users fine it more comfortable, others do not.

Keeping the wrist in an unnatural position for too long is known to cause CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) which is also known as RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury). You can help prevent CTS by keeping your elbows at the same level as the keyboard.
