Typing with Glove80

Setting up Glove80 for comfortable typing

Glove80 has been designed to encourage good typing postures. For an overview of Glove80’s

ergonomic design features and the rationale behind Glove80, please read The Ergonomic

Design of Glove80 Split Contoured Keyboard

Here is a quick instruction:

1. Make sure you have a properly set up and comfortable desk and chair, or alternatively a

standing desk.

2. Attach the palm rest to each half of your Glove80.

Note: you can type on your Glove80 without the palm rests. However for maximum

comfort, we recommend attaching the palm rests.

3. Place the two halves in a comfortable position, such that:

● The two halves are separated at a distance suitable for your shoulder width;

● Your wrists are straight when viewed from above, i.e no ulnar deviation;

● Your forearms are horizontal or slightly pointing downwards when you place your palms

on the palm rests. If necessary, please re-adjust your desk and chair.

4. Place your fingers on the highlighted keys in the image below. This is the typical rest

position for your fingers, also known as the “home row”.
