Comment on Ask HN: Has your handwriting suffered from years on the keyboard?

Comments

yes - a lot.

Partly from lack of practice but also from RSI which gives me cramps :(

EDIT: I'm in my twenties too

I was in that same position about a year ago. On a whim, I decided I'd try one of those split keyboards and it helped enormously. I hated it for about a week (typos), but then I adjusted and the pain is gone.

Interesting. I might look into that thx.

Although the major sourceo f my problem comes from using a laptop on my knees.. so :(

Don't take RSI lightly. If it hurts when you do that, don't do that. RSI is not protected by ADA, and it can take years to recover from.

ADA? I know it's a problem.. and I do have to get it fixed. But it's all a bad habit thing. and I am weak like that.

It is getting to the point I have to do something though.

the disabilities act (the law that governs things like what should happen if you are unable to work, what kind of accomodations your employer must make if you should become disabled, et cetera._

i feel you on the bad habit thing, 20 days is all it takes to have a new habit, though.
