Software Engineer

I'm a software engineer working for Sun Microsystems working on the Java programming language...

As with most, my hand/wrist pain had been going on for years, slowly getting worse. I was having horrible pain in my wrists and up my forearms. At the worst (when I was typing 14 hours plus at the keyboard a day working on a new project) the sensation from my fingers started to go away, my hands tingling all night.

Right in the middle of the above demanding project, a co-worker turned me on to the Kinesis keyboard: I ordered one. To my delight and amazement, ALL of the pain in my hands disappeared within two weeks of switching to the Kinesis. It's been three years now with no pain whatsoever.

Interestingly enough, if I switch back temporarily to an old style keyboard (using someone else's computer, for instance) all of the old pain comes back within an hour or so - again reminding me of how much I love my Kinesis.

Since becoming a Kinesis convert, I've turned over a dozen JavaSoft employees on to your keyboard. Every single one has told me that their wrist and hand problems have gone away in very short order.

You truely have an amazing (and essential) product.

Take care, and continue the great work. You quite possibly may have saved my professional career.
