In Praise Of: The Kinesis Contoured Keyboard
![]()
Last week I mentioned the love one man can have for a keyboard and asked others to write in on the tools they use to save their joints. Roy Jacobsen wrote in with his own recommendation:
You can take away my Kinesis Contoured keyboard when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers! (Yeah, it was obvious, but I couldn’t resist.)
I was developing some serious wrist pain whenever I had a project that took a lot of copy/paste, because the keyboard shortcuts were so awkward. It took about a week of practice with the Kinesis to get back up to speed, but I’ve never looked back. Oddly enough, I can switch to a standard layout without any problems. I think it must be kind of like switching between an automatic transmission and a stick shift: Once you’re used to both of them, your muscle memory takes care of the rest.
Are you using a tool that’s saving your body? Well don’t keep it to yourself! Tell me!
