Keyboard helps to ease the pain

Since switching to a Maltron keyboard with trackball mouse in 1996 when she developed tendonitis in both hands, Louise Kibbey reports that she now rarely suffers from pains in her hands and wrists.

Kibbey explains that once she had gone through the training disk, she was able to use the keyboard in just a couple of weeks. She reverted to a standard keyboard to do some urgent work, then went back to the Maltron, progressing to using it full time within another week or two.

Kibbey comments: "The Maltron keyboard makes my arms and hands operate from a comfortable position, whereas I feel that my arms and hands are hunched together using a standard keyboard now."
