I love ergonomic keyboard and chairs. Do you? They both help to minimize muscle strain and other problems.
I enjoy my ergonomic chair, but I've never been able to get used to ergonomic keyboards. I still can't stand to sit very long.

A "fixed-split keyboard" is a single board, with the keys separated into two or three groups, allowing the user to type at a different angle than the
