Choosing the right keyboard can make a big difference in your daily computing. Today we will look at several different types of keyboards that can keep your hands and wrists comfortable and can make entering computer information much easier.

You probably got an average keyboard like this one when you purchased your computer. While this keyboard may be all that you need, you should be aware that there are other options.

For instance, if you are a hunt and peck kind of keyboard user and your ageing eyes make it difficult to see the letters on the keyboard, you might investigate a keyboard like this one called “BigKeys” which has keys almost four times bigger than normal.” Another option may be to use stickers with larger letters on your keyboard like these from Gold Violin.

If you have pain or discomfort in your wrists, fingers, or elbows, you may want to consider an ergonomic keyboard. In this Comfort Type Keyboard from Kensington, the keys are slightly angled to put your wrists in a more comfortable position.

Ergonomic keyboards come in many shapes and sizes. The idea behind them is to arrange the keys in a way that will relieve some of the pressure that is caused by typing on a normal keyboard. In this Microsoft Desktop Comfort Keyboard the keys are raised 6 degrees and angled to allow easier typing. And the keys that are used by the left and right hands are slightly separated.

If you have serious problems with your hands or wrists, you may want to investigate a keyboard with even more ergonomic features. These range from keyboards where the left and right hand are separated and angled to one like this SafeType keyboard which allows your hands to be in a natural position. You type on this with your hands up and down just like they would be in your normal walking position.

Yes, it can be hard to get used to some of these keyboards, but I can tell you from experience, they give a lot of relief to your hands and arms.
