Nice little post on dealing with wrist fatigue. I to have a Kinesis Freestyle Solo keyboard, and it’s awesome. I wrote a review about it even. Shortly after getting the Kinesis, I switched to Dvorak as well (again wrote about it). Once I made the switch to Dvorak full time all wrist pain went away.…
