Experiences? https://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/4460/ergonomic-keyboards-for-video-work-experiences Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:15:41 +0000 qwerty123 4460@/talks/discussions In my reckless youth, I didn't care about proper typing, etc. But now I have to be more careful, as sustained periods of keyboard use from editing (and writing), cause problems.

There are some discussions online about ergonomic keyboards, but none of them is specific to the kind of work we do as videomakers. So I think it might be good to have a discussion / sharing of experience of different ergonomic keyboard options out there as it relates to video work.

I'll start: the only real "ergonomic" keyboard I've had experience with is the mass-produced Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard. Here are my thoughts about it:

  • it takes up a lot of space
  • the keys are harder to press than, say, a standard apple keyboard,
  • is a little funky on Mac OS
  • I notice minor improvements how I feel when I'm typing
  • relatively cheap compared to other options (also feels a little cheap)

I'm interested in the "truly ergonomic keyboard" which is here: https://secure.trulyergonomic.com/ Does anyone have experience with it?

What do other people use / think about the products they have used?
