Wrist hurts

[Danielh90]

Hello I just got a new keyboard I got the corsair k95 keyboard and I use the wrest thing. I am a website developer so I tab out and in to the browser and sublime using the tab and windows home key. When I tab to another  program with the controls it hurts my wrist. Is my wrist just not use to the motion of my hand movement or is it because oif the wrist thing? I know a while back taran talk about somthing that he had with his wrist am I getting that?

Are your arms level with the disk/keyboard?

Yes 

[AlwaysFSX]

Yes 

Then you're moving your wrist in a way that you shouldn't. Do you just keep your arm stationary and twist your wrist to hit keys..?

Also remember Taran said it was all in your head.  I had the same thing happening to my hands then thought about what Taran said and boom over night the pain was gone.  Also the wrist things on key board do nothing for me in that my hands never sit flush or come in contact with them. Maybe Im not keyboarding properly lol.

What do you mean? Do i keep it in one spot then move it?

another thing is you should be moving your entire arm and hand at the same time and not force an unnatural movement.  For example, when I go to hit my windows home key I move my entire arm down so my writs are straight this means you will have to lift your arms off the desk as crazy as it sounds.

Do you twist your hand to hit keys or do you move your arm to move your hand?

Do you twist your hand to hit keys or do you move your arm to move your hand?

Twist my wrist

Twist my wrist 

Yeah don't do that.. Move your arm a bit so you aren't just twisting your wrist.

[NannerBeans]

Twist my wrist 

You should be moving your arm as well. At least that's what I do when I type. 

[Danielh90]

Yeah don't do that.. Move your arm a bit so you aren't just twisting your wrist.

Ok Thank you

Been doing that "flick of da wrist" too much?

Its easier than you think to get RSI from using keyboards and a mouse. I used to get carpal tunnel when I played SWG (all that repetitive clicking leveling up armoursmith!).
