I got the MX Vertical, K860 keyboard, All33 Chair and it has been amazing for the pandemic. At work I had crappy Dell keyboards, a basic mouse, and a horrible chair. It's night and day. Changed my monitor from a crappy monitor to a high DPI monitor and it's so clean and great for your eyes. Granted, all this can be alleviated by working out and sunlight. Get those bands and just work out. Nothing beats it.

See what works best for you here. I have had the same problem for 15 years and weight training actually made it worse. My worse time was when I was coding, weight training and playing bass guitar in a band each week for a long period. I would get home and my hands would be numb and stiff like hooks. I think the fact I was not giving my hands and wrists recovery time made it worse. I’m much better now that I have kids and zero time for a band or occasional gym visits. My best advice. Try everything and see what helps. I’ve tried every keyboard under the sun. I even bought a datahand keyboard. The Kinesys Advantage is amazing. I have one. It made the biggest difference for me. I cannot use a mouse anymore not even for 10 mins. I use a touchpad now but in the beginning a Wacom touch pen (you can configure it to work in mouse mode) was the only thing I could use. Try these things and see what works. A physio also gave me some writs stretching exercises to do each day which helped a little. Biggest things that helped me when coding?... Kinesys advantage keyboard Wacom Bamboo tablet and pen (with mouse mode). It’s odd a first but seriously try this if you can’t use a mouse. Highly recommend trying this. Ps. Take it seriously and don’t just plough through it. It might never go away fully but you can avoid it getting so bad it affects your career.
