As someone who has faced lifelong hand issues, and yet uses them every day for both my career and my hobbies, taking care of my hands is a near and dear topic to my heart. If you type every day and come home feeling as though your hands want to lock up and never open again, it’s time to look at an ergonomic keyboad.

But that’s a loaded term, “ergonomic.” It can mean so many things, and every “ergonomic keyboard” seems to look completely different than the next one. So what makes a keyboard ergonomic? And should you spend the high price to get one? We have all the facts in the top story.

Other Highlights:

• Marcus took a look at the NZXT Lift Mouse and well… it’s a tough sell despite its light weight.
• If you’ve ever considered switching to Spectrum for your ISP, you probably had difficulty figuring out what upload speeds it offers. We have all the details in one handy spot for you.
• The new Apple Mac Studio looks pretty amazing. But you might be wondering if you can skimp on storage now and upgrade later. Well, the answer to that is complicated.

Apple deserves a ton of criticism for its product design. The company just can’t seem to sell a device that’s easily upgradeable or repairable, a problem that impacts both customers and the environment. But early criticisms of the Mac Studio’s non-upgradable, non-replaceable SSDs are rooted in assumptions, not facts. They’re just inaccurate. Read More »

Wheelbarrows are so last year. It’s all about utility wagons now, thanks to their large capacity, powerful design, and high ease of use. This heavy-duty utility wagon is made of fully-welded high-quality anti-rust metal, with an all-iron bed and removable sides, and it can hold up to 1,100 pounds. The pneumatic tires are shock-resistant and have noise-reducing casters for quiet movement no matter what surface you use them on. The wagon’s handle is ergonomic and has a 180-degree turn design for easy maneuvering. You can even put a tarp on top to haul dirt and other loads with small particles with ease. It’s perfect for yard work, moving, and more!
