To anyone that has used these in serious training routines for long lengths of time: Does this develop discomfort when typing?

They'll probably cause some joint pain and muscle soreness for a few days after use the first couple weeks. After that, if you have problems you may want to use them less, which has solved practically all the issues I have had. Even if you lift heavy weights, like I do, you have to remember that you have not specifically trained your grip before. You have to build up to it.

Your fingertips will be all torn up from the metal handles,and you won't be able to type.

Absolutely not. But get a different brand. Wood or plastic grip. The metal and sandpaper grip kill your hands. Cold and uncomfortable.

Not really. It will of course stiffen your muscles a bit when starting out but it doesn't affect hand and finger movement at all.

They aren't too hard. I find that I rest my elbows on them when I type and when I game with no issue. They do have some padding which makes them very comfortable overall.

I have worn them for very extended periods. 1 hour on the train conected to iPhone followed by 3 hours worth for conference calls connected to laptop. I never have discomfort. Can't sleep or nap with them at all unfortunately.

not well. they are tight on my index finger to the point it starts to ache. the rest are all ok. they stop 2-3 inches past the wrist. well worth the money despite the discomfort.

I have a fairly thick silicon skin on my iPad and they don't work with it. To be honest I don't put them together to use the keyboard. I'll type with the keyboard and walk around leaving my iPad on a table. I also will sit at a table typing and prop my iPad where I can see it. I enjoy having the flexibility. I was kind of annoyed about it at first but it doesn't bother me.

They are comfy but in long sessions it hurts when you try to move your eras with your hand, básically its normal, I think...

Yes. It makes it kind of awkward to get used to. If you do a lot of typing I suggest a different board. When first getting used to it I would hit the enter key or backslash a lot when going for the backspace.

yes, I suggest you keep on the wrist because it makes typing more comfortable. :D

Hey Dave, there is a slight discomfort that adds up, I wouldn't be able to wear these for 15+ hours. With that said I find on-ear headphones to be discomforting in general, the sides of my ears get pinched and if you have sensitive skin it will leave bruises and your ears will look like a banana peel. I wouldn't recommend on-ear headphones for extended usage, over the ear headphones would be ideal. I think you can order custom earpads for the device, not sure how much they cost but I'm sure you probably don't want to spend additional money for that. Maybe consider the Audio-Technica's M50X I reviewed both these headphones on my channel. Cheers! Hey Dave, there is a slight discomfort that adds up, I wouldn't be able to wear these for 15+ hours.

I've been using the KeyFolio for about a year now and haven't had any problems with screen damage, scratches, etc. I touch type and really like the keyboard. It has fast response and feels pretty comfortable for a person with large hands.

When it comes to typing I found myself typing juuuuust a touch heavier. However after about a week or so the skin itself started to have this "broken in" feel to it and now I know it's there but as far as typing I'm pretty much back to my normal. Hope this helped. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

I type with these on all day BUT make sure you get the right size. The first pair I got were more of a struggle to type in, so I went up a size from what the size guide implied.

Hi Laura. I just sold my Kinesis Freestyle 2 keyboard on eBay last month because of my unhappiness with the key action. Yes, it is a long throw and quite unsatisfying. It isn't tactile at all and I expect more from Kinesis than this. To specifically answer your question, there is no way that I'm aware of to shorten the keystroke. I wish there was!

Initially I found it very painful because it turns out I grip pencils very tightly, far more than I realized. The raised bumps on this caused pain after writing for a while. My solution was essentially the same as what DrChi stated, I took the rubber sleeve off an old Bic pencil (maybe another brand, the junky ones with the translucent rubber grips that slide off) and put it over the raised bumps, and its been absolutely incredible. Used it for maybe 4 years now and its extremely comfortable for very long use now that it has the grip.

I don't get a headache, but I just don't find them comfortable after prolonged use. I would definitely not use these for prolonged use. I can't imagine a better quality microphone at this price, though.

Yes is quite loose, but after a while you'll get used to it, i've noticed that my typing has to be more slow and steady than before in order not to move it

I've gone through 3 of these keyboards. The keys and the springy part under the keys are plastic, not metal. This makes them wear out over time. I do A LOT of typing, so it stands to reason they'd wear out faster with me. If you do only moderate typing, it should last you at least a couple of years. All 3 of mine lasted a little over a year.I've never had the mouse die on me. I've given them away as I replaced the keyboard. The M510 mouse is awesome, and I can't stand any other mouse! It's spoiled me. Feels good in your hand, not too big/small, good range for receiver, can be used by righty or lefty, LASTS FOREVER!
