Split Keyboards

As the name suggests, a split keyboard is a keyboard split into two sections. Some split keyboards are part of one single unit, where the keys are positioned towards the left and right. However, most split keyboards are physically split into two separate parts, connected either wirelessly or with a cable.

Split keyboards are designed so that you can sit and type more comfortably. Unlike a single keyboard, a split keyboard can position each half to be parallel with your shoulder. With your arms extending straight forward, the strain on your wrists is reduced. If an employee suffers from RSI or Carpal Tunnel, a split ergonomic board might be the best option.

An ergo split keyboard is divided into two separate halves, allowing for a more natural hand positioning compared to a traditional single-piece keyboard. Some models also feature tenting options to reduce wrist strain even further.

If you or anyone at work suffers from carpal tunnel, you should ensure the workstation has the right setup for optimal posture and invest in ergonomic office products, including ergo split keyboards.

If you experience wrist or shoulder discomfort when typing, it might be a sign that you need a better keyboard. An ergo split keyboard can help by allowing for a more neutral hand position.

Most split keyboards connect via USB or Bluetooth and are compatible with Windows, macOS, and other operating systems. Simply check the product specifications to ensure a keyboard is compatible.
