Flat Keyboards Force Your Wrists Into Three Unnatural Positions That Cause RSI

Trusted by Fortune 500 ergonomics programs and prescribed by occupational therapists for carpal tunnel prevention and RSI recovery. If you're experiencing wrist pain, forearm tension, or hand numbness after hours of typing, your flat keyboard is forcing your wrists into ulnar deviation, pronation, and extension—the three biomechanical positions that cause repetitive strain injuries. The Goldtouch Elite eliminates all three with fully adjustable 3D positioning.

Why Customers Choose the Goldtouch Elite Keyboard

• Adjustable 0–60° tenting prevents pronation: Raise the center to any angle that keeps your palms facing each other naturally—eliminates the forearm twist that causes wrist and elbow pain
• Adjustable 0–30° splay eliminates ulnar deviation: Angle the keyboard halves to match your shoulder width—keeps your wrists straight instead of bent inward
• Split design with 6\" separation reduces shoulder strain: Position each hand directly in front of its shoulder for neutral posture—no more hunching or internal rotation
• Soft-touch palm supports included: Removable cushioned rests provide comfort without forcing wrist extension—use them or remove them based on your preference
• Durable membrane keys with tactile feedback: Quiet, responsive typing with 10+ million keystroke lifespan—professional feel without mechanical keyboard noise
• Mac + PC compatible with hardware switch: Toggle between operating systems instantly—works with Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS without drivers

Goldtouch Elite vs. Fixed Ergonomic Keyboards

How to Adjust Your Goldtouch Elite for Maximum Comfort

The Elite's dual-adjustment system lets you customize both tenting (vertical angle) and splay (horizontal angle) to match your unique body and workspace:

Tenting Adjustment (0–60°):

• 0–10° (minimal tenting): Good starting point for ergonomic keyboard beginners or very low desk setups
• 20–30° (moderate tenting): Most popular range—eliminates pronation for most users without feeling extreme
• 40–60° (aggressive tenting): Maximum pronation relief for RSI recovery, standing desks, or users with severe wrist pain
• Adjustment tip: Start at 20° and increase gradually over 2–3 days until you find your sweet spot

Splay Adjustment (0–30°):

• 0–10° (minimal splay): Best for narrow shoulders or compact desk spaces
• 15–20° (moderate splay): Ideal for average shoulder width—most users land here
• 25–30° (maximum splay): Perfect for broad shoulders, tall users, or those who want maximum ulnar deviation relief
• Adjustment tip: Set splay so each keyboard half aligns directly with its shoulder—your forearms should be parallel

Separation Distance: The Elite's split design allows up to 6\" of separation between halves. Position them shoulder-width apart to eliminate internal shoulder rotation and reduce upper back tension.

Palm Supports: Use the included soft-touch palm supports if you prefer wrist cushioning, or remove them for a floating-hand typing position (recommended by many ergonomists to prevent wrist extension).

The Science: Why Adjustable Tenting and Splay Prevent RSI

Repetitive strain injuries are caused by three biomechanical stressors that flat keyboards force on your wrists and forearms: pronation (forearm twist with palms facing down), ulnar deviation (wrists bent inward toward your pinkies), and extension (wrists bent upward). These unnatural positions compress the median nerve (causing carpal tunnel syndrome), strain tendons (causing tendonitis), and restrict blood flow (causing numbness and fatigue). The Goldtouch Elite's dual-adjustment system addresses all three: tenting (0–60°) rotates your palms toward each other to eliminate pronation, splay (0–30°) angles the keyboard halves to keep your wrists straight and eliminate ulnar deviation, and the split design with adjustable separation allows neutral shoulder positioning that reduces extension. Peer-reviewed ergonomic studies show that adjustable keyboards reduce wrist strain by 35–50% compared to flat keyboards, and users with existing RSI report measurable pain reduction within 7–10 days. Occupational therapists prescribe adjustable keyboards like the Elite because every body is different—fixed ergonomic keyboards offer a one-size-fits-all compromise, while adjustable keyboards let you dial in the exact angles that match your unique biomechanics, desk height, and shoulder width. The result: personalized ergonomics that prevent injury for healthy users and accelerate recovery for RSI sufferers.
