What Is an Ergonomic Keyboard
Ergonomic keyboards are at first glance a common keyboard, but they actually help a lot in comfort, their entire design and their entire ecosystem are designed to offer the maximum possible comfort for the person, to the point of actually improving many areas in which this person uses these keyboards.
They are very important for people who are having constant problems with discomfort, many companies are starting to adopt this style of keyboard for their employees, and its evolution is constant.

The Science Behind Ergonomic Layouts (Without Being Boring)
These keyboards have completely different designs and really just want to offer comfort, in fact their entire layout is designed with this in mind..
Ergonomic keyboards fix this with a few tricks:
- Split Layouts: They literally split the keyboard into two halves to match your shoulder width.
- Tenting: They raise the middle of the keyboard so your palms tilt inwards.
- Curved or Arched Shapes: These follow the natural angle of your fingers.
