The global financial crisis has hit some families like “a thief in the night”. However, since time immemorial, it is during difficult times that some people would find their opportunities of a lifetime.
Meet Ciara, a Stay-at-Home Parent
Ciara started to work from home a couple of years back, and save for the throbbing pain on her left wrist, she never regretted her decision to make a switch between her corporate suit and her kitchen apron at home. Ciara, just like some parents and those who are physically-challenged have embarked on work-at-home opportunities, and never looked back to employment since then.
As full-time, data-entry clerk from home, Ciara makes good money, but the pain on her wrist has brought her to at least a couple of chiropractors, and has used up a portion of her savings. Her condition did not improve, until she read about mini-keyboards.
“Small, but terrible” speaks well about a mini-keyboard. It has all the features of a traditional keyboard, save for its size. However, not all mini-keyboards are created equal. The one Ciara got was an ergonomics mini-keyboard.

The Danger with Traditional Keyboards
It has been proven that prolonged use of keyboards that are not ergonomically-designed for the user may cause repetitive stress injury on his hand and wrist. Generally characterized by pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, when left untreated may worsen and cause disability. Such was (almost!) Ciara’s case.
Switch to Ergonomics
The term “ergonomics” has gathered moss in not so distant past, but today it has created a buzz on the internet. It is now attached to every mini-keyboard, desk, chair and office accessories in order to command a sale. Why the sudden interest?
Ergonomic mini-keyboards and other ergonomically-designed office and home equipments, such as computer keyboards, office chairs and desks are designed in such a way that motion of the joints are minimized to avoid repetitive stress injuries.
Mini-Keyboard and Work-at-Home Opportunities
When repetitive stress injuries are avoided, your productivity level increases. Be it in full-time employment or work-at-home opportunities, your success depends on your output.
