ergonomic keyboard
Curved input device
An ergonomic keyboard is designed to reduce strain on hands, wrists, and arms during typing.
These keyboards typically feature split layouts, curved key arrangements, or tented angles that encourage more natural hand positioning: I switched to an ergonomic keyboard after developing wrist pain.
The term covers a wide range of designs, from subtle curves to dramatically split configurations.
