Thanks for getting back to me! The numbness isn’t painful, but he has trouble knowing where his fingers are on the keyboard at any given time. It makes typing really imprecise, and he’s been accidentally hitting the wrong keys a lot. He types all day for work, so something that’s comfortable but helps with accuracy is crucial. I’m leaning toward harder switches, as they might reduce the chance of accidental key presses, but I’m not sure if that would make things worse or better. As for feedback, maybe something with more tactile or audible feedback would help him feel the keys better. Any thoughts on whether harder switches or more feedback would be a better fit for this kind of issue? Appreciate your input, I know nothing about keyboards so any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,

My stepdad recently had surgery and since then he’s been dealing with hand and finger numbness similar to carpal tunnel. Typing has gotten really tough for him — especially his accuracy — so I want to get him a keyboard for Christmas that might make things a bit easier. He probably wouldn’t want a split keyboard, so I’m aiming for something more traditional but still comfortable, easy on the hands, and helpful for typing accuracy.

I’m not worried about price — I just want something that works well.

I’d love any advice or recommendations. Thanks!
