Progress Report 26 Oct 2017 · 10:11pm Oct 26th, 2017
Hi folks!
I told you I would blog more often. So, here’s your blog!
I created a little video to explain the situation with my hands, especially to those of you who are new.
Long story short, I have some kind of damage that prevents me from using a keyboard like regular people. I can use one for a short time, but after a few hundred words of regular typing my fingers start to hurt. The farther I go, the worse it hurts, and it doesn’t take long for the pain to be intolerable. It even limits my ability to play certain PC games, especially those that require a lot of quick inputs. Others, like Star Trek online, I can play for longer periods without trouble. That’s why I chose Star Trek online to be the background of this video. Well, that and I really like the game.
Due to this pain, I decided to seriously consider purchasing this keyboard.
As you can see, this is not a regular keyboard. Since my fingers aren’t doing any work, there should be no pain. However, I do have a history of having my wrists hurt quite a lot, too. It’s entirely possible that these will hurt my wrists instead of my fingers. That’s why I need to know this company’s return policy. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate their return policy on their website. I have messaged them, but have yet to receive a response. It is my hope that they have a satisfactory return policy, and that shipping to Canada isn’t too expensive. Provided that I can return the keyboard if it doesn’t work out, and provided that shipping is too onerous, I’m going to go ahead and spend what little I’ve saved up on this exorbitantly priced keyboard. Hopefully, it will restore my ability to type to the extent that I will return to semi-normal productivity.
However, a large part of me thinks this is just going to be another money sink on a false promise of hope, just like all my attempts before.
See you next blog, and thanks again for sticking with me!

just saying it may be worth looking in to.
ps after listening to your full video i now feel like a ass.
voice just wont work for you.
Good luck!
I would prefer this kind of video. Blog posts are nice and all, but as someone who is easily distracted, it's easier to just sit and listen rather than read through a bunch of info and have to sort it while reading it.
