Comfort & Usage Tips
For better comfort, we recommend using the product with the included wrist rest. The Year of the Snake keyboard is built on a modified spring mount, making it taller than a conventional gasket mount. You may adjust the wrist rest and position it slightly away from the keyboard depending on your hand size. Please note there is a learning curve when adapting to the Alice layout, which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours for most users.
