<p>When I started using a split keyboard, I noticed the comfortable distance between the halves drifted further apart until my arms came forward straight from signs.</p><p>Now years later I tried using a more traditional design with my arms angled toward the center again. I noticed my back hurt by the end of the day. </p><p>I’m not if there’s some optimal arm angle but I’ve adapted to my heavily split design. For tall folk with broader shoulders it’s nice to have this option. </p><p><a href="/tags/keyboard/" rel="tag">#keyboard</a> <a href="/tags/ergonomickeyboard/" rel="tag">#ErgonomicKeyboard</a></p>
<p>New video! I reviewed a pre-production version of the new mechanical Amiga keyboards from A1200net. These are suitable for most Amiga models and fit both the new replacement keycaps and the original keycaps, retaining the original look and feel of the machines.</p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://youtu.be/HNOTwb4UsCA" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>youtu.be/HNOTwb4UsCA</a><br>PeerTube: <a href="https://makertube.net/w/kP6snQGm4nhcY6xUAzqkku" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="makertube.net/w/kP6snQGm4nhcY6xUAzqkku"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">makertube.net/w/kP6snQGm4nhcY6</span><span class="invisible">xUAzqkku</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/amiga/" rel="tag">#Amiga</a> <a href="/tags/keyboard/" rel="tag">#Keyboard</a> <a href="/tags/mechanicalkeyboard/" rel="tag">#MechanicalKeyboard</a> <a href="/tags/linearswitches/" rel="tag">#LinearSwitches</a> <a href="/tags/mitsumihybrid/" rel="tag">#MitsumiHybrid</a> <a href="/tags/commodore/" rel="tag">#Commodore</a> <a href="/tags/retrocomputing/" rel="tag">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="/tags/vintagecomputing/" rel="tag">#VintageComputing</a> <a href="/tags/replacement/" rel="tag">#Replacement</a> <a href="/tags/keycaps/" rel="tag">#Keycaps</a> <a href="/tags/a1200net/" rel="tag">#A1200net</a></p>
