I tried using the magic trackpad. I liked it a lot, but something about how I held my pinky and ring finger kind of "tucked in" eventually lead to pain and I had to switch.
- droopyEyelids 3y agoMost of my RSI seemed to be from having my arms too far apart or something, and I fixed that by dropping my mouse and getting one of the 60% apple keyboards and sticking a trackpad onto it with this https://www.amazon.com/Twelve-South-MagicBridge-Extended-Connects/dp/B08Y6H44M8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=apple+keyboard+and+trackpad+holder&qid=1690776224&sr=8-3 https://www.amazon.com/Twelve-South-MagicBridge-Extended-Con...

- jwells89 3y agoI've been using 60%/65% keyboards for almost a decade now, usually something with an HHKB layout, and yeah it's amazing how much of an improvement it is to not have to keep your mousing arm pushed so far out if you want your alpha cluster centered. The comfort improvement is significant.
