But posture, if I were to separate the two parts and just leave them fixed in their new positions, I already open up my chest, I drop my shoulders, the whole neck area, people get stress and tension headaches because of this has to do with like the monitor placement, but also the keyword placement and the interaction between the shoulders And the neck opens up.

And then once you open up, that also has implication for breath. It's actually easier to breathe. And that has a whole host of other like health repercussions or I guess benefits if you can to take the positive here. If your breath is working, many things in your body work, right? So just open up, calm down, and it reduces stress across areas. many parts of your body, not just your hands.

That's one benefit of split, but the other benefit is being, well, and I guess actually to go more on position, another side benefit there is that you can tend to them. You can control the angle relative to the desk and actually make a little roof and kind of, and it doesn't have to be the same angle on each half, right?

So one can be like really severely angled to an almost handshake position, the other one much flatter, that's fine. The keyboard can do that, that's not a problem. because it's split, it's two totally independent halves, right? And then you can also rotate them as whatever works for you. You can have them rotated so you're coming in from the side like this, or you can have them rotated outwards.

And again, you can change each of them independently. But that brings me to movement, which is the second one. You can actually, you can, and I'm going to say you should make those changes throughout the day. Move around. Like one thing that really gets me is those ergonomic posters and infographics that show you like the right typing posture.

And you have this like robot looking person that's all right angles and the head is exactly straight and the forearms are exactly straight and the knees and like, okay, like that's one way to do it. Sure, for five, 10 minutes. But really what we are meant to do as humans is move. we are meant to shift our position throughout the day.

And I definitely think you should take movement breaks when you work. You should stand up. You should sit down. I have this very cool little thing here called the MoveMate, actually. That's like this wobbly platform that you can stand and kind of play around on. But a part of that is being able to just shift your keyboard. around, draw it in closer, push it far, all that.

And that also has other advantages, of course, you know, less movement based, but let's say you're gaming. So no problem. You just unplug the right half entirely, chuck it out, lots of room for your mouse. And the left half can now be this super powered macro pad just for your game. If you're like an MMO type of guy. So that's the second one.

And then the third one, third good reason for a split, it packs down. It's really easy. You know, when you type, it's a full size, like spacious keyboard because you have all this room to spread out. But when it's time to take it somewhere, there is an included carrying case, which is small because it's like a sandwich. It's basically the footprint of one half.
