I'm sure this has come up with other models, but this is my first Macbook. I am coming from Thinkpads, which have always had great keyboards. I actually am quite enjoying the keyboard on the MBP 16 inch, which is kind of more....lively. But one problem I continue to encounter is the sharp edges at the front of the computer digging into my wrists/lower forearm while typing.
It's pretty uncomfortable and I doubt it's good to have that kind of pressure/pain, especially in those locations, in the long term. I even noticed slight numbness after typing for 30+ minutes. I know I could put my laptop in a holder and get a magic keyboard etc., but I backed up the brinks truck to get this 16 inch model instead of a 13 inch precisely so I could use it on its own.
Anyone have any ideas? Are there gel pads? In theory, the larger build should give your wrists a place to wrest, and be supported, but the edges do away with that benefit, at least in my experience. It doesn't seem unfixable, but I can't imagine writing thousands of words every day on this in the long term. Otherwise, great computer (until it's obliterated by the next ARM MBPs, but... whatever).
