    I have a tkl to get some close mouse space, how do you deal with it using a split? Where do you put the mouse?

  I never get back pain, because I get it all in my shoulders and neck instead.

    Same actually. Sometimes in the legs too. But I did start exercising a bit to improve my neck and shoulders.

  The best posture is the next posture!

  Had some pro ergonomic wizards visit my place of work a million years ago and they kept saying this and it has stuck in my mind like an echo from the ancient world.

  I try to switch posture regularly when I’m working. It helps.

  Making sure to go on walks regularly also helps with lower back pain in my experience! Can’t speak for people who have actual conditions and such, but us regular folk, whose backs are fine, just weak due to sitting down too much, there are ways to combat it without paying an arm and a leg for fancy equipment.

  How does split keyboard help?

    It allows two people to have better posture when they’re both hacking into the mainframe on the same keyboard.

    It allows you to keep your arms shoulder-width apart which makes it easier to avoid hunching.

    Even just a keyboard with left and right halves angled toward the respective arms would help. Because with a typical keyboard, the arms come at it at an angle, and then the wrists are crooked to have the fingers on the straight key rows. An angled or split keyboard allows to keep the wrists straight.

    Same as the ergonomic mouse. Natural poses are less stressful.

    Which means palms facing each other instead of facing down in one case, and hands should-wide apart with relaxed shoulders instead hunching in the other.

  I keep thinking that your lower back hurts for psychological reasons. Like, tummy ache is caused by psychological reasons like 90% of the time. It makes sense that the same would apply to back aching, since they’re in the same region.

  Lower back support pillow will do the trick too.

  I can’t afford a good standing desk… and the split keyboard is not needed.

  I use a really small table and literally sit on the ground, and I got no back pain

  context: it was supposed to be temporary when my table got damaged, but I ended liking it

  I don’t have as much desk time as I used to. My back hurts because I’m old and I have done a bunch of different jobs that hurt my back in a bunch of different ways.

  My lower back is the opposite where standing straight for a while actually causes pain.
