Heyo, Kayla here! I create videos, write newsletters and blogs among other things here at Keebio. I'm excited you're here! How do you feel about split keyboards, friend?
What if the fastest mouse isn't the most wrist-friendly? A group of Cornell researchers set out to compare five different mouse designs—not just by how quickly people could use them, but by what their wrists were doing while they used them. Twenty-four people completed point-...
Your keyboard is one piece of an entire workstation ecosystem, and every piece can either support your body or quietly work against it. Here's a secret most desk setups don't want you to know: the "standard" chair, keyboard, and monitor arrangement most of us...
You know that end-of-session feeling. Shoulders up near your ears, lower back staging a quiet protest, and you haven't even moved from your chair in two hours. The usual advice? Get a standing desk. But researchers took a closer look at what actually helps, and there’...
Horror games demand fast reflexes. What if your keyboard kept up? Split mechanical keyboards are uniquely suited to long gaming sessions, and horror games are uniquely suited to making the hours disappear. Dead Letter Dept. In Dead Letter Dept. you've moved to a new city. You’re just...
You've probably seen the debate play out in keyboard forums: float your wrists, use a wrist rest, or prop your whole forearm up. Turns out researchers have been quietly running the numbers on this — and at least one of the answers might surprise you. As far as this...
Laptops were designed for travel, but were they designed to keep you comfortable while you work? “Nope,” is the big response from a study from 2020 (see the end for paper link!). They found that using an external keyboard, rather than the built-in one, is the best way to...

How we put load on our fingers matters: especially as it comes to a task we do 8+ hours a day. Olympic-level durations, even. Many of us think about wrist health in terms of posture and force. Our biomechanics research paper we’re discussing today suggests how we use...
What on earth is this study? The researchers for (take a breath) “Guidelines for Wrist Posture Based on Carpal Tunnel Pressure Thresholds” were seeking to create posture recommendations for the “design of tools and hand-intensive tasks.” These guidelines are limited to the scope of pressure caused by wrist positioning,...
