Two whole columns of keys on the left module are dedicated to macros to reduce the amount of movements needed to execute frequent commands. The split keyboard design permits two tethered modules to separated by 6 inches, allowing forearms and wrists to return to being naturally straight. Overall, if you want a remedy to CTS but don’t want to settle for anything other than a high quality, great looking addition to your desk set-up then the Logitech G613 is certainly worth considering. This latency is even faster than many hard wired keyboards. The moniker ‘lightspeed’ given to the G613 is certainly well deserved as it has only a 1ms delay between keystroke and registering on screen. Being tactile, you’ll still be able to feel the moment the key stroke registers, but you won’t have to worry about creating a nuisance at home or in the office.įinally, not really CTS mitigation but worth a mention in any case.

Unlike many other keyboards designed with gaming in mind, the switches beneath the G613 keys are deliberately quiet rather than clicky. The G613 is wireless thanks to Bluetooth pairing capabilities, and requires nothing more than 2 x AA batteries (supplied) to keep the board powered for up to 18 months! Being unrestricted by wires means it can be moved to your ideal positioning without any compromisation. When your job means you can’t really entertain the idea of stopping typing altogether (or certainly not long enough to allow adequate rest and recovery), then opting for a better designed keyboard is one significant step towards reducing the severity of pain experienced. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of those aching conditions that it is possible to ignore for a little while, during the early stages of its onset, but if left unaddressed for too long can quickly escalate into a searing and occasionally chronic pain.Īs many CTS sufferers will attest to, sitting in front of a computer typing away all day can become a bit of a physical and mental battle. We don’t intentionally avoid trying to fix the problem, but at the same time never really dig too deep to search for a perfect solution. Life tends to get in the way when we attempt to address our body’s aches and pains. This does not impact the products we recommend.
