Z2 sessions are supposed to be boring, they force you to endure the mental pain of not feeling physical pain when doing something dull. They also train you to listen to your body. Doing something else while in a Z2 session is going to kill those Z2 gains. And overall, being bored is great for the mind, help with creativity, problem solving... Once you embrace Z2 sessions, they became some sort of meditation, with the…
Hmmm... Maybe I should hook up my recumbent to the trainer.

Personally I don't even start a 'ride' in Zwift for my Z2 rides for this very reason. I stare at the title screen and use my phone (connected via BT from an adjacent room so as not to be tempted to use it) to load the smart trainer. Finally I use fans, but as exhaust to create negative pressure that pulls as much O2 out of the room as possible. Next week plan is to start riding without bibs or a saddle so as to maxim…
This is satire right?

This is madness. I will never try this!
Same, I don't understand zwift, nor do I understand using a trainer outside of warming up before a time trial, xc or cyclocross race context. The whole fun of cycling is to actually ride a bicycle, feel the wind, the road texture, notice the changing seasons in the landscape, rail corners at high speed...trainers annihilate all this and reduce this nice and enjoyable activity to a boring and terrible fitness activity…
A split kb with integrated trackball would help alleviate the awkward mousing situations, e.g. the charybdis [1]. I'm in a similar position having gone down the ergo split keyboard rabbit hole and vim everywhere, now building a charybdis myself 1. https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis

warpd has helped me, as far as limiting annoying mouse use. https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd

I think with proper cycling posture you can take the pressure off of your wrists. Use your back and shoulder muscles to support your upper body and arms, so that you can ride with elbows bent. If you can bend your elbows, you can avoid pushing on the handlebars for support. That will make for more comfortable wrists with or without a keyboard. Reference: Sheldon "Ouch!"

Funny you referenced Sheldon. He's like Knuth of cycling. The industry will keep shoving down your throat their new "advancements" every year, but at the end of the day, bikes hasn't changed a lot, and the common knowledge will remain the same.
So are you putting pressure on your wrists with your wrists bent at an angle while typing? I think this is totally awesome in principal, but isn't that basically asking for some carpal tunnel issues? It's kind of hard to tell from the photos and videos though which are both at weird angles.
