    I use none of those and my lower back is fine. Lifting weights fixed all that shit almost immediately.

    Can anyone reccomend a split keyboard? I bought one last week, but it’s tiny and lacks FN keys and holding down alt practically curls my thumb into my pinkie.

      Kinesis are king. But if you want a cheaper option, Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic or whatever it’s called is quite good, even though it’s not properly split. The halves are angled so that your wrists wouldn’t be crooked.

      And when I inevitably break the key mechanism trying to clean inside, I unpack old reliable MS Natural 4000 and clack away again.

        I’ll look into the kinesis! I finally got a chair for my office/game desk, and my arms are resting too far apart for a connected keyboard.

      I love my glove80 but it’s not without a learning curve

      I remember when I was a teenager and those things were all the rage (mid 90s). I wanted one just because they were alternative.

      Fast forward a whole bunch of years and I’m pilfering the supply closet at work, and happen to stumble upon a slightly dusty, but functional and genuine OG Microsoft split keyboard. So of course I just had to.

      Let’s just say that keyboard is back collecting dust in that exact same spot. The ergos of it were okish, like your hand naturally rests like that. But even just that little difference of layout messed my muscle memory up way too much. And you are right, hitting some of the function keys was too alien.

      Kinesis Freestyle2. I’ve had mine since COVID and still love it. They have both Mac and PC key layouts, including function keys.

        Someone else reccomended the kinesis as well! Mobility is not a major concern, if it fits in a backpack, I’m OK. Is it mechanical? As everyone knows, keys that go clickety-clack are a must

      I have a tkl to get some close mouse space, how do you deal with it using a split? Where do you put the mouse?

    The best posture is the next posture!

    Had some pro ergonomic wizards visit my place of work a million years ago and they kept saying this and it has stuck in my mind like an echo from the ancient world.

    I try to switch posture regularly when I’m working. It helps.

    Making sure to go on walks regularly also helps with lower back pain in my experience! Can’t speak for people who have actual conditions and such, but us regular folk, whose backs are fine, just weak due to sitting down too much, there are ways to combat it without paying an arm and a leg for fancy equipment.

    How does split keyboard help?

      It allows two people to have better posture when they’re both hacking into the mainframe on the same keyboard.

      It allows you to keep your arms shoulder-width apart which makes it easier to avoid hunching.

      Even just a keyboard with left and right halves angled toward the respective arms would help. Because with a typical keyboard, the arms come at it at an angle, and then the wrists are crooked to have the fingers on the straight key rows. An angled or split keyboard allows to keep the wrists straight.

      Same as the ergonomic mouse. Natural poses are less stressful.

      Which means palms facing each other instead of facing down in one case, and hands should-wide apart with relaxed shoulders instead hunching in the other.

    I use a really small table and literally sit on the ground, and I got no back pain

    context: it was supposed to be temporary when my table got damaged, but I ended liking it

    I don’t have as much desk time as I used to. My back hurts because I’m old and I have done a bunch of different jobs that hurt my back in a bunch of different ways.

    My lower back is the opposite where standing straight for a while actually causes pain.
