Typing 118 WPM Broke My Brain in the Right Ways

I wasn't getting RSI per se, more like my arms were fatigued after a day of development.

I did the pricey split keyboard thing. One advantage there is that my vertical mouse sits between the keyboard halves which means I don't have to "reach around" to grip it which has saved a whole bunch of muscle movement.

I do this but with a trackball. Works great.

I got a split keyboard and for the first time in my life, my wrists are quite strained when I type. It might be a learning curve thing, but I wouldn’t go for a split keyboard for health reasons, just because they’re cool.
