>>One thing that helped me a lot, was switching from the standard flat keyboard to the slanted ergonomic keyboard made by Microsoft. To this day, its the only desktop keyboard I use.
I could see a new keyboard layout being designed. We’ll be told that this layout is “improved” but as with so many “better mousetraps” we’ve been sold, it won’t necessarily be better (different isn’t automatically “better”).
And the differences (even subtle, like a fatter Enter key where the backslash key used to be) will hamstring older typers (putting them out to pasture in offices).
The ergonomic keyboard I described has been around for decades. It really is a 'better mousetrap', as it's designed to accommodate the natural arch and angles of the wrists and hands.
Switching over to one was probably easier for me, as I was a novice typist at the time. But, even if I'd been an old hand at the time, I think I would have switched anyway. They really are that much more comfortable to use.
Next time you're in a big box electronics store, try one out and see if you don't like it.
