Why Traditional Keyboards Cause Pain

Your keyboard is based on a 150-year-old design. It wasn't made for you

Traditional staggered keyboards force your hands into a harmful positions: Ulnar Deviation(outward wrist-bending). And frequent lateral finger movements.

These unnatural postures are scientifically proven to increase pressure inside the carpal tunnel, leading to Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI), pain, numbness, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

The X-Bows Biomechanical Solution

Dr. Sig designed the X-Bows to fix the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Natural Radial Layout:
Our keys are arranged in a fan-shaped arc that matches the natural, radial movement of your fingers. No more unnatural finger stretching.
Neutral Wrist Posture:
The split design keeps your wrists straight, eliminating the harmful ulnar deviation that causes strain.
Smarter Workload:
We moved high-frequency keys like Enter, Backspace, and Shift to your thumbs, your strongest digits, to give your weaker pinky fingers a rest.

  • An actual medical X-ray of a human forearm in the same vertical mouse position, revealing that the radius and ulna bones are still crossed, labeled 'Anatomical Reality.' This visual evidence refutes the claim that vertical mice uncross forearm bones.

    Dr. Sig

    Marketing claims vertical mice "uncross" your bones to prevent pain. We bought some tape and fired up an X-ray machine to prove why that is anatomically impossible.
