I always thought splitting the keyboard and number pad so I could put the mouse in the middle would be a great optimization. Finally did it last year and ended up with tennis elbow. Turns out having my mouse pad a good distance away from the keyboard gives me a chance to stretch out my arm. That tiny bit of extra movement was crucial in not pushing my body over the limit of too much tiny movements resulting in elbow/arm pain.
There are other contributors like using my phone too much in the evenings. But for sure, the keyboard change pushed me over the edge. I now view micro optimizations like this slightly differently. Maybe this keyboard layout would be great! But I sure would pay more attention and watch for negative side effects now. |
