If you're into prevention, get an ergo-aware keyboard and mouse if you feel any discomfort at all.
The starting points - and for many people, perfection - are a split keyboard (like https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle2-for-pc-us/ https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/freestyle2-for-pc-us/), ideally with the center elevated ("tented"), and a vertical mouse (like https://evoluent.com/products/vm4r/ https://evoluent.com/products/vm4r/). They have almost no learning curve. Kinesis has a 60-day money-back guarantee.
These products should leave your wrists and hands at the same angles as when they hang at your side. Let your arms dangle freely, bend your elbows, and type/mouse.

- maaaats 7y agoI use a roller mouse, a bar below the keyboard. Feel it's even better than an ergonomic-but-standard-mouse, as I don't have to move my arm to the side. Fixed my stupid elbow.
- toyg 7y agoIf you can get over the "gaming" look (lights can be disabled), the best keyboard from kinesis is their Freestyle Edge: https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/ https://gaming.kinesis-ergo.com/edge/ As well as all the ergo goodness, you can reprogram it to an inch of its life. I have the first generation, use it with a Mac and a Colemak layout, and it's da bomb.
