No, you can comfortably rest your palms on the wood with your fingers on the home row and you either don't tough or just barely rest the joint of your thumb on the fun keys. To actually press them, you have to consciously press down with that thumb joint (sounds a bit awkward, but really becomes second nature immediately). It's extremely comfortable and ergonomic.
