Founder, X-Bows | Medical Professional & Ergonomics Researcher

For over 20 years, I worked as a doctor specializing in medical imaging. Day after day, I saw the physical consequences of our modern, digital lives: the repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), the musculoskeletal disorders, and the chronic pain that stems from a fundamental conflict between our technology and our anatomy.

I saw a critical "implementation gap".

The scientific literature was clear on why typing caused pain—detailing the biomechanics of wrist extension, ulnar deviation, and carpal tunnel pressure. Yet, the keyboards on everyone's desks remained unchanged, based on a 150-year-old mechanical design.

Frustrated by this disconnect between knowledge and practice, I founded X-Bows.

My mission was not just to build a different keyboard, but to build the right one—a keyboard designed from the ground up based on established biomechanical and anatomical evidence. This blog is an extension of that mission: to share the "authoritative evidence" and empower users with the knowledge they need to work comfortably and healthily.

Our Guiding Principles

  • Solve the Root Cause: We don't just mitigate symptoms; we address the core biomechanical flaws of traditional keyboard design.
  • Design for Humans: We build for the natural, radial (fan-shaped) structure of the human hand, not for a 19th-century machine.
  • Balance Innovation with Usability: We are focused on solving a societal problem, which means our design must be easy to learn and accessible to everyone, not just a few enthusiasts.

Thank you for reading. I invite you to explore our research, read our articles, and see the solution that this mission produced.
