Ergonomic Keyboards

Ergonomic keyboards, which consist of separate sections of keys, allow you to position your hands more naturally so you can work more comfortably. Ergonomic keyboards can also help prevent a repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

You should take frequent breaks when typing to prevent hand and wrist strain that can lead to typing injuries. You should stretch or perform other tasks for 15 minutes after every hour or two of typing. Every time, dust and dirt can accumulate on your keyboard, causing the keys to stick or not respond when pressed. To remove dust and dirt, you can run a vacuum cleaner over the keys.

The plastic outer surface of the keyboard can be cleaned with a damp cloth. You should not attempt to open your keyboard to clean the inside, as this can damage the keyboard.

You can use a wrist rest with your keyboard to ensure your wrists remain elevated and straight while you type. Using a wrist rest with a keyboard will prevent you from resting your wrists on the edge of a desk—a position which can cause wrist injury. Some keyboards come with a built-in wrist rest. You can also purchase a wrist rest for your keyboard separately.
