SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/typing-straight-wrists

When typing, how should your wrists line up with your forearms?

Straight and in line.

  1. Bent upward to reach the keys
  2. Straight and in line ✔
  3. Bent outward for a wider grip

Why: Keep wrists straight and in line with your forearms. Adjust your chair or keyboard to avoid bending them.

Huh, didn't know that: Keyboard feet are useful only when they help your wrist position.

Why did the keyboard go to bed? It needed some space.
