A repetitive strain injury (RSI) is damage to your muscles, tendons, or nerves caused by repetitive motions and constant use. They’re also sometimes called repetitive stress injuries.
Repetitive strain injuries are very common and usually affect your:
- Fingers and thumbs
- Wrists
- Elbows
- Arms
- Shoulders
- Knees
One specific task that causes an RSI is typing on a keyboard. Fortunately, there are ergonomic keyboards, like the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop, available to help reduce the risk of pain and injuries.
According to Microsoft:
“Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop is built on advanced ergonomic principles, with a split keyboard layout that keeps wrists and forearms in a relaxed position, and a cushioned palm rest to provide wrist support. The domed keyboard shape works to reduce and correct wrist pronation that can cause pain and limited mobility…”
By providing a relaxed, comfortable computing experience, this keyboard enables you to work without the stress, strain, and discomfort of other keyboards and mice you may have used in the past.
The natural arc keyboard layout follows the curve of your fingertips for a more natural way of typing. The reverse tilt design positions the keyboard at the correct angle to give you a straight, neutral wrist position. Additionally, the shape of the mouse is designed for maximum wrist comfort. Plus its Windows button provides convenient one-touch access to the Windows Start Menu!
