There are many different keyboard options that claim to ergonomic. Many are not appropriate. It is important to choose a keyboard that fits your body. Otherwise, you will probably experience arm, wrist, or hand fatique over time if you spend lots of time at the computer. To use a keyboard safely, maintain a straight wrist, in all directions, relaxed arms and shoulders, and 90 degree or greater bend in the elbow. Detailed guidelines on selecting a keyboard are provided to enable you to select and adjust your keyboard. General guidelines are given below.

If you do not know how to type without looking at the keys, you may develop neck and shoulder problems. We suggest that you learn to type. There are lots of fun typing programs online you can choose from on www.freetypinggames.us/. It makes learning to type into a game!

Some individuals cannot tolerate the arm pronation and wrist deviation required with the use of a conventional keyboard. To determine whether you can use a straight keyboard or if you should use a split or contoured keyboard, place your hands on the keyboard with your fingers on "home row" (i.e., "asdf/jkl;"). If your wrists are bent sideways when your hands are on these keys (ulnar deviation), you have a wide elbow angle and you might be more comfortable using a split or contoured keyboard. If your wrists are straight, you can most likely use a conventional straight keyboard without discomfort.

Your keyboard should be no higher than your sitting elbow height. Unless specifically manufactured for the Macintosh, keyboards have PC control keys Macintosh-specific control keys.
