There are many keyboard styles, some of which are quite exotic. The objective is to find a keyboard that allows you to keep your shoulder, arm, and wrist in a comfortable, neutral position. A standard keyboard layout places all the keys in one contiguous region. Unlike a natural keyboard (such as the Microsoft Natural Keyboard), a standard keyboard has no split in the center. For people with narrow shoulders, the fact that this keyboard lacks a separation between the left and right side may not be problematic. A narrow-framed user may be able to have his or her shoulders in a neutral position and reach for the keys without having to pronate their wrists or push their arms together. In addition, many standard keyboards take up less space, allowing the user to keep his or her mouse in closer proximity. For narrow-shouldered people, I recommend looking for a standard keyboard that is wide enough for them to maintain a neutral position.
A computer athlete uses input devices that enable him to maintain neutral positions.
