Do I need a mechanical keyboard?

Some data entry specialists prefer mechanical keyboards for the tactile feedback that confirms each keystroke. Others prefer low-profile membrane for reduced wrist strain. Personal preference matters most.

How do I prevent repetitive strain?

Take a 30-second break every 15 minutes. Stretch your fingers, wrists, and forearms. Use a keyboard at proper height (elbows at 90 degrees) and keep wrists neutral.
