I 3D printed the vertical stand for my keyboard yesterday and used it all day today. It was surprisingly easy to use. I took a typing test on it right away and got 67 WPM which is only slightly lower than my high score of 73. It was pretty comfortable to type with my wrists vertical and it forced me to float them off the desk when typing which is what you are supposed to do anyway. I can’t see the keys at all which is mostly ok, but I struggled a little to hit certain key combos when my hands were off the keyboard, like my shortcut for mute/unmute during meetings. Numbers were also a little challenging. Overall it was a lot better than I thought it would be and I will definitely be experimenting with it some more.

Here are some photos. The book is there to hold down the edges of the stand. If I make this permanent I will definitely find a better solution.

😅 did your wrist hurt?

Fwiw the neutral / ergonomic wrist angle is tens of degrees less than vertical

uh, my wrists have been fine actually. I guess this is some sort of… fun?
