Tap in Comfort, Free from Injury
X-Bows was founded by Dr. Sigo Wang, a medical doctor with a specialization in medical imaging. His interest was piqued in 2015 by a medical paper discussing the correlation between Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and keyboard use. This led him to discover a wealth of research over the turn of the century, linking Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), CTS, and keyboard use. The revelation of over two million CTS cases in the United States, attributed to prolonged keyboard use and resulting in billions of dollars in socio-economic costs, caught Dr. Wang's attention.
After reviewing extensive literature, Dr. Wang believed that redesigning the keyboard could mitigate the primary causative factors of CTS, thereby preventing the condition and offering significant benefits in rehabilitation and treatment. This conviction led to the birth of X-BOWS Nature in 2017, a product with a steep learning curve yet hailed by YANKO DESIGN as "the most popular design in January 2017." Following further optimization, a successful crowdfunding campaign was launched on Kickstarter in September 2017.
Over seven years of relentless endeavor, supported and validated by nearly twenty thousand users, X-Bows has continuously refined its mission.
