But she still works closely with a number of her long-standing translation clients, and maintains her Chartered Linguist status.

But then I don’t have RSI either, and I think that’s because I have used ergonomic keyboards for many years now. I have never tried to use dictation software.

It took me a while to get used to a different layout for the Home and End, Page Up and Down and the insert/delete keys. It has several multimedia hotkeys, but I don’t often use them.

After two years I can still see the letters, but it’s also very neat, yet solid, and it has a click to the keys which I like, having learned to type on a manual typewriter all those years ago I do like a nice click.

I was searching for any ergonomic keyboard but the one I had before. Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000, which I put up with for far too long. * My measurements – may not be totally reliable. I find this the most comfortable setting. It has two “legs” at the back that can be used to change the tilt of the keyboard so that it slopes towards me. It stands 3 cm off the desk.* Some may consider this to be rather large, but I have always worked on a largish desk, and it really is not a problem for me. Well constructed, it has a satisfying mechanical feel about it, but gentle too. It doesn’t need batteries, but it does take up a USB slot.

It’s not heavy but neither is it lightweight, so it doesn’t move around when I am full flow. I have used ergonomic keyboards for twenty years and simply cannot use a conventional keyboard any more – at least not on a desktop PC, where I spend most of my working day. Not only that, it is ergonomic! That is my number one specification. I can now safely say, more than two years later, that the letters are still as bright as the day the keyboard arrived.
In August 2014 I purchased the PERIBOARD-512B from Perixx. I tried painting them (messy), buying little stickers (ugly), and working blind (although I am a touch typist, I do need to look at them occasionally, if only to orientate myself). I was fed up with purchasing keyboard after keyboard from Microsoft where the letters rubbed off after only a few months. Perixx PERIBOARD-512B Ergonomic Split Keyboard – wired USB interface.
