Okay, what’s up with tenting and wirst rests?
Currently you can only tent a little if you have those small plastic/rubber feet or if you get yourself a riser (be it the riser 60 or 80 doesn’t matter). If you are on the uhk60, the riser actually connects to the wrist rests and would probably not work without it, since it would stand out at the bottom beneath your wrist rests.
Now here comes the issue i am experiencing and which seems to be common through the entire ergo split keyboard tenting space. For almost every keyboard out there that’s got tenting support and wirst rests, the wrist rests are tenting together with the keyboard itself.
So if you position your hands on the keyboard and on it’s wrist rests while having it tented higher, your hands are kind of sliding downwards the slope. Wouldn’t wrist rest that can be adjusted separately be better?
I know this might be something with how the riser, the keyboard and the wrist rests are designed to do but at that point, why not separate the wirst rest from the tented keyboard and sell additional wrist rests (or no at all) which maybe dock magnetically to the riser/keyboard but don’t tent upwards.
Something like this (not mine) https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/1gxl0ik/my_journey_with_corne_ergo_mech_keyboards_started/
Keyboard is tented, although not as much as my uhk60 and the wrist rests are separate, less tented/sloped and give your hand a better support where it actually needs it.
I try to help with this by having the keyboard close to my chairs arm rests but having it tented that way kind of needs my arm rests to be higher.
This is then again constrained by the desk as i can’t just raise my chair higher together with my armrests, my legs have still to go under the desk. I can raise the desk but that doesn’t solve the actual issue here. I do have a standing desk though. Using it while standing is a whole different story again.
Any thoughts on this?
