Comment on Ask HN: Wrist Pain

Comments

#1 thing you can do to help your wrists: don't rest your them on your keyboard/desk/wristpad. Don't rest them on anything. Your hands should float above the keyboard, with the wrists straight.

I've found that switching to a Dvorak layout helped a lot - because I had to touch type (I didn't physically change the keys, and didn't get stickers or anything for them), my hands naturally floated over the keyboard. Also helps if your elbows are above the keyboard. Various ergonomic keyboards may help too.
