Amazing story.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
I use crazy input devices on crazy ways too. Magic trackpad and a 3d connection 3d mouse on a TV arm screwed to the wall along the computer screen so I can work standing up or with a stool.
A a lap-along wearable stenotype device instead of keyboard. Speech recognition for other things.
I can work much better, more comfortable and faster than anybody else after years of training.
- rndn 12y agoIt seems to me the more different input devices, the better, because one can quickly switch the input device when it becomes too repetitive. I’m currently experimenting with a vertical mouse (Anchor), a handheld trackball (IMAGE), a handheld touchpad (Perixx), a vertical keyboard (Kinesis Freestyle2), an ergonomic keyboard (Kinesis Advantage), a sitting/standing desk (IKEA) and a sitting ball. The most effective changes seem to be the vertical keyboard, the remote trackball, the new desk and a couple of streching exercises I started doing. While the Advantage does relieve the pinkies in Emacs, it still feels inferior to the vertical Freestyle2 because the forearms are still in a twisted pose. I think I tend to overly cramp my hands and fingers so that I’m experiencing RSI even without overly long working hours.

- brw12 12y agocan you say more about the details of your setup? I have pretty serious RSI and I've tried all sorts of input devices, but have never found a good keyboard setup.
