Anyone else get sore or tender nails from typing?
First world problem, basically the title. Might be worse because I have long natural nails instead of gels/acrylics.
What helps:
- Typing on raised keys instead of flat ones (more finger pad, less nail tip)
- Typing on linear switches with lower actuation force (less pressure overall)
What doesn't:
- Typing with flat fingers (still sore, just in different ways)
- Typing on nail tips anyway (ends up hurting until I cut them)
Would appreciate tips & tricks (pun intended).
