Pain-free work

Betty Hedrick of Western Australia used to experience pain in her hands when using conventional computer keyboards.

Since switching to a Maltron keyboard, she reports that the pain has gone.

She had been using QWERTY for more than 35 years, but adapted well to the Maltron layout.When it's necessary for her to use a QWERTY again, she finds that she is very slow.

Hedrick says there are sometimes days in a row when she uses the keyboard very little, but that she doesn't have any problem coming back to it: "The only time I ever slow down is when I've been forced to use QWERTY and then 10 to 15 minutes repeating random exercises from the training manual is all it takes to fix it."
