Standard keyboards just aren’t great for your body. The key layout makes your fingers constantly stretch and splay, and forces your wrists to rotate inward. Your hands sit close together, so your shoulders don’t get much chance to relax.
A quality ergonomic keyboard counters all of this and the best ones are designed to relieve the stresses you get from typing and gaming all day long. Picking the right one is no easy task and there’s no such thing as a perfect choice, as everyone’s needs are different.
