I’m also not a fan of any mechanical keyboards - they’re too loud and bulky for my taste - and so I looked for a membrane switch keyboard, which I personally feel doesn’t require as much force to activate the switches. My diagnosis showed me that I was inadvertently forcing my tendons and muscles to work harder while typing, resulting in aches and pains in as little as a half an hour. For me, typing at any angle meant I unnecessarily pressured my joints. My laptop’s keyboard had me curve my wrists at about a 45-degree angle to reach all the keys, and studies have shown that typing at angles may lead to long-term damage. My keyboard needed to change if I didn’t want my career to change.
I loved my laptop for its portability, but the long hours typing on its flat keyboard left me struggling to finish writing projects without intense pain. After a much-needed hypermobility diagnosis, my chronic hand and wrist pain helped me realize I had to revamp my computer workspace if I wanted to keep writing.
