Personally, I use my keyboard flat, like you described. It just feels more natural to me. I know some people, though, who use the curved keyboards that allow your hands to rest on the keys at an angle without bending your wrists. My wrists don't bother me so it's not something I use. It's great to have options. :) Hey, thanks for visiting! Personally, I use my keyboard flat, like you described. It just feels more natural to me.

Nice post! Good to see you spreading the word for ergonomics :) There is just one part that I disagree slightly on and that is the keyboard section. As I understand, there has been recent research that suggests that a flatter keyboard puts less strain on the wrist. Basically you're aiming for the hands to lie in the most natural posture. If you lie your hand palm down on a surface you want to be aiming for as close to this posture when you're typing. So if you have feet underneath your keyboard put these down, otherwise you will be using more muscles to hold your hands at a higher angle. Keep up the good work! Hey Lisa!
