I started to have pain in my finger tips, wrist and in my back, resulting from bad posture and devices with poor ergonomics (Apple mouse + laptop). Realising that at age 30 this is a bad sign, I invested around 2000€ on a more ergonomic setup: - a proper chair (I got a Vitra ID, but there are lots of good options out there) - an electric height-adjustable desk - an external display mounted on an Ergotron LX monitor mount - a mechanical split ergonomic keyboard (Matias) - an ergonomic mouse (Logitech MX Master) My setup allows me to stand (which I occasionally do), but it‘s amazing how much difference it makes even when sitting. I can adjust desk / chair / monitor so my arms and neck are in a relaxed position. After a few weeks, the pain in my hand went away. Getting the right equipment is really important. I have short legs, so standard desks are too high for me. A lot of cheap chairs are not adjustable enough (too high on their lowest setting). Invest in ergonomics, and consider your entire setup. A trackpad instead of a mouse won‘t help if your wrist is at the wrong angle because of a desk that has the wrong height.
