It's all about hardware. I've addressed it quite well with a three-pronged approach:
1. Motorized standing desk - typing from varying postures keeps strain spread out
2. Kensington trackball mouse - less hand sweeping / temptation to drags wrist on table
3. Ortholinear "Planck" keyboard - modifier keys accessible via thumb and programmable layers more generally can completely eliminate painful hand poses and keep fingers on the home-row
- ajolly 4y agoChange is good. I find using a variety of mice helps. Rollermouse, trackpads, rockmouse, carpal tunnel mouse(quadraclicks), mousetrapper. For the dragging wrist problem, I really like the reloot or other similar gliding palm rests. I find upgrading them with ceramic lights makes a big difference.
- smcleod 4y agoPersonally I find the Kensington trackball mouse made my carpel tunnel a LOT worse, they're not for everyone.
- ryukafalz 4y agoWith my particular RSI I also can't use a standard trackball, but I swear by my thumb trackballs. (But every body is different, every injury is different, etc.)
