Key Details
Why a True Split Layout Suits Wrist Strain
The PERIBOARD-512B is a true split design, and that is the reason it suits typists with wrist strain. It allows each hand to rest at shoulder width rather than forcing them together at the center of the desk, which is the default position on every non-split keyboard, and it keeps the wrists at a naturally inclined angle.
The wired connection is a deliberate tradeoff. Wireless keyboards depend on batteries and a Bluetooth or receiver link, and the PERIBOARD-512B removes that variable entirely. If you are using this keyboard as your primary work tool for eight or more hours a day, consistent input is worth a cable. The realistic tradeoffs are a footprint larger than a standard keyboard and no backlight, both of which are manageable for the ergonomic payoff.
