So I’m sitting here writing this post tonight minus one finger. If you work with computers at all, you know you can sometimes get mystery pains in your hands. Well, tonight, my left index finger’s big knuckle is killing me. As a result, I am pecking away without it right now. My point to you, my dedicated reader? Two words: adjustable keyboard.
Pain from overuse and strain can sometimes be solved by switching to one of these broken-looking keyboards. Of course, you should look into all the recommended ergonomic adjustments for IT and data entry personnel as your first step to recovery. But if you’re the type that likes gadget-based solutions, the adjustable keyboards in our shop offer the chance to solve your computer-related injury with, well, more computer junk!
Honestly, the price for a quality keyboard like this is relatively high but worth it. There are options by MSoft, etc. but our choice piece available is the Goldtouch GTN0077. Here’s the 5 star review:
This keyboard is the best among mini-keyboards. I tried several mini-keyboards but found the keys to be too small. The Goldtouch keyboard, however, has the same full-size keys as a regular extended keyboard, except it does not have the numeric, 10-keypad on the right. Even the function keys are full size…. unlike other split keyboards set at a permanent angle, it uses a ball and socket, so you can adjust the split to any angle up to 30 degrees, horizontal and vertical. The keys are easy to press and very quiet.
That adjustability sounds like exactly what my now fatigued, remaining fingers need. The cost is $130 but, hey, that’s what your IT department is for, right?
