  • An ergonomic keyboard is designed to put less stress on the user's hands and wrists. Placing less stress on the hands and wrists reduces the risk of developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI).

    Types

    The types of ergonomic keyboards include the wave (curved) keyboard and the split keyboard.

    Wave Keyboards

    The keys on this type of keyboard are curved in a way that angles the hands in a more natural position.

    Split Keyboards

    The two halves of this type of keyboard are physically split in one or more places.

    Price

    Prices of curved keyboards are comparable to those of nonergonomic keyboards. Split keyboards are usually more expensive than other keyboards.

    Disadvantages

    Touch typists may find ergonomic keyboards difficult to use at first as the keys are not where they would normally expect them to be.
