hey so you are the only keyboard woman i know, are there any keyboards that are specifically designed for smaller hands/hands with wrist injuries or are generally better for preventing RSI and Carpal tunnel?
hi! there are generally not keyboards designed for smaller hands (given that switches are all the same size) but for decreased movement i.e. less keys, more reliance on layers, funky shapes that mimic our hands' resting positions, split halves so that you can adjust your keyboard so that it matches your shoulder spacing.
one version of this is the moonlander https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/ which gives you the ability to tilt in a lot of nutty directions and is also split.
there are also boards like the dactyl manuform which unfortunately does not have a prebuilt option, but it really leans into the "matches our fingers" thing. i genuinely don't know what the keymap on this is:
slightly less extreme than the dactyl is the corne, though it is a 40% so you would have to get used to less keys and memorize more layers:
keeb.io also has a loooot of split keyboard kits and some of them have hotswap and prebuilt options - maybe the iris could work for you?
out of those four websites, i think keeb.io or littlekeyboards (corne site) are probably your best bet in terms of budget, ability to build, and not so crazy that it makes you not want to adapt to it
it may also be worth looking into really light switches if you do build a board.. gateron clears are like 35grams or something, they have a really light actuation point so your fingers arent working so hard. let me know if you have any other questions :-)
