This rings so true. With cats it is almost always the tiny change that gives it away, like eating a little less or sleeping in a different spot, while a dog will usually make it pretty obvious something is wrong. I think that is why cat owners end up watching every little habit so closely.

Late to the thread but this is a great discussion. I went through the same thing with a fairly tall board. I bought one of those squishy gel wrist rests first, and honestly it made things worse because I was just mashing my wrists down into it while typing. Switching to a firmer, lower rest that my palms only touched during pauses helped a lot, which lines up with what brisk said about it being a palm rest rather than a wrist rest. Also seconding the height point: dropping to a lower profile board did more for my comfort than any rest ever did.

0·10 days agoThis is genuinely impressive work. I love that the halves stay tethered, nothing loose to forget in a laptop bag, and the fold-out layout still reads like a normal keyboard when it’s open. Also a smart pick on the KS-33 low profile silents; a clacky build in an open office is a fast way to make enemies.
How are the hinges holding up after some days of commuting? That would be the part I’d be most nervous about wearing out over time.

I completely get this. You check it so often that you start to recognize the usual reviewers and the little back-and-forth, and then one day that small feature you have been hoping for finally lands. It is funny how satisfying something so specific can feel after waiting that long.
