Keyboard that would help avoid fingers strain (lemmygrad.ml)

Hey there,

I've been doing a lot of typing lately on my shitty old Compaq keyboard (it has a good build quality, but keys require relatively much force to be pressed) and I experience some discomfort in my fingers.

Would anybody suggest any specific keyboard or keyboard type that would help me ease the strain? I know absolutely nothing about keyboards lol!

I have a feeling that keyboard compression gloves would be helpful to you.

A lot of finger pain and strain comes from over usage of the carpal tunnel and wrist muscles, so you could eliminate a lot of pain by using keyboard gloves and taking 1-2 minute breaks to relax your hands every 20-30 minutes.

It's the first time I've read about such thing. If a different keyboard won't solve the problem, I will try it. Thanks for the tip.
