Straight wrists is good, but hovering like a pianist is not good for extended computer use.

> but hovering like a pianist is not good for extended computer use.

Why ?

If you were taught piano by any teacher worth their fee, then your position is natural, effortless and your wrists are limp without tension.

Exactly the same position as an ideal computer keyboard position.

Piano position is the best keyboard position. Your fingers are doing the work.

  • Constant change in position, dynamic motion, strong & brief muscular exertion of whole hand and arm, even including the shoulder vs constant static position w/ small repetitive motions, where the fingers really are doing almost all the work.
