I have two: one for each hand. I (used to) have to use my laptop a lot (meetings, traveling), so it didn't work for me to have a different keyboard at my desk.

I have two: one for each hand. I (used to) have to use my laptop a lot (meetings, traveling), so it didn't work for me to have a different keyboard at my desk. Then when I got stuck at home, I dug out my old kinesis but it was just too much effort to press those keys, and the cursor keys were just too far away. I could feel the muscles in my arms complaining. But the pronation and ulnar deviation was a pain, so I bought another one, so now I can angle them perfectly for each hand. If you want to try it you'll need karibiner [1] so that the cmd keys work across keyboards. I'm still using the magic mouse because I found click-drag with the trackpad to be shitty. Is there a trick to that? [1] https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org

> I'm still using the magic mouse because I found click-drag with the trackpad to be shitty. Is there a trick to that? Not sure how the magic mouse works, but there's "drag hold" on the trackpad. You "double tap and hold". Tap once, and on the second tap you don't lift your finger off the trackpad, but start moving it around. Conveniently located outside the trackpad settings, in Settings -> Accessibility -> Pointer control -> Trackpad options -> Enable dragging. https://imgur.com/a/oSrPyDB https://imgur.com/a/oSrPyDB You may have to activate tapping (as opposed to pressing the trackpad). "Without drag lock" actually does lock, but only for a short time. "With" locks until you click again. "Three finger" is new to me, never tried it. edit: screenshot

  Three finger drag on the trackpad was a game changer for me. I was getting RSI before and that eliminated it entirely.

If you're using karabiner, you might want to use goku to configure it: much nicer: https://github.com/yqrashawn/GokuRakuJoudo https://github.com/yqrashawn/GokuRakuJoudo
