- I hope you find an answer in your search for a comfortable keyboard.
- In the future I'm sure you would find one. Product liability suits
- have already been brought against some equipment manufacturers
- (including keyboard manufacturers) because their lousy ergonomics lead
- to repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. Given the
- ubiquitousness of keyboards, the potential liability exposure for a
- keyboard producer is huge. I'm sure that we'll see redesigns as soon
- as a few cases are decided.
-
- Meanwhile you might want to make sure that your work area is properly
- set up for using a keyboard. If the table & seat are correctly
- adjusted you'll agravate the pain...
