Citation needed. Even the poster child for that rumor, RMS, fixed his problem by switching to a better keyboard.

I'm describing my experience. Feel free to live according to yours if it differs.

Also, in jest: citation needed on the RMS claim. We can all play that game ad absurdium :)

> In the mid 90s I had bad hand pain, so bad that most of the day I could only type with one finger. The FSF hired typists for me part of the day, and part of the day I tolerated the pain. After a few years I found out that the pain was due to the hard keys of my keyboard. I switched to a keyboard with lighter key pressure and the problem mostly went away.
