Key features of Natural Keyboards
- Split Design: Natural keyboards often have a split or divided layout, with the keys separated into two or more distinct sections. This design allows users to position their hands and wrists in a more natural and relaxed posture, reducing strain.
- Curved or Angled Layout: The keys on a natural keyboard may be arranged in a curved or angled pattern, conforming to the natural alignment of the fingers and reducing the need for wrist extension.
- Palm Rests: Many natural keyboards come with integrated palm rests or wrist supports to provide additional comfort and support during typing.
- Programmable: Using harder-to-reach keys repeatedly, especially with your pinkies, can cause RSI and hand pain. A programmable keyboard allows you to shift frequently used keys to more accessible sections of the keyboard.
- Tenting/Tilting: Your wrists perform far better when they are closer to a handshake position rather than flat on the table, as with a typical keyboard.
What is a Natural Keyboard?
A natural keyboard aims to reduce strain and discomfort during prolonged typing sessions. These keyboards typically feature a curved or split layout that mimics the natural positioning of the hands and wrists. The primary goal of a natural keyboard is to promote a more comfortable and neutral typing posture, potentially reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSI) such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
