Wrist Neutral Typing Position
Wrist neutral typing position aligns hand and forearm with flat or slightly negative keyboard tilt—avoiding bent wrists pinned on thick rests while typing.
Wrist neutral typing position keeps the hand in line with the forearm—minimal extension or ulnar deviation—so tendons glide without pinch at the carpal tunnel. Keyboard tilt flat or slightly negative, elbows at the side, and no gel rests pinning wrists while typing.
Pause-heavy days still need breaks regardless of angle.
Common questions
-
Should wrist rests touch the keyboard while typing?
Rest palms lightly between bursts, not while actively pressing keys. Pinning extended wrists on foam often increases pressure in the carpal tunnel.
