Question 1

Is touch typing better for preventing RSI?

Accepted Answer

Touch typing reduces the need to look down, which helps your neck. But the technique itself (curved fingers, light touch) also reduces finger strain.

Question 2

Should I use a split keyboard for better typing posture?

Accepted Answer

Split keyboards let you position each half at shoulder width, keeping your wrists straight. They're excellent for RSI prevention.

Question 3

How can I tell if I'm typing too hard?

Accepted Answer

Listen for audible key clicks or bottoming-out sounds. If you can hear the switch bottoming out, you're using more force than needed.
