When I started getting wrist RSI from typing, I switched to a Microsoft Natural keyboard - the angle of the two halves doesn't bend your wrist. More recently, I've been using a Kensington trackball - but I only get the ego benefit when the optional wrist support is attached. RSI is very serious and in many cases can directly affect your livelihood, so if you can, see a doctor right away for a diagnoses. ---Charles -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-chat@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-chat@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Paul Robinson Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 8:23 AM To: chat@freebsd.org Subject: RSI-basher? Hi all, My hands/wrists are starting to give out. I'm spending 10+ hours a day at a screen having done so now for maybe 15 years, and no matter how many breaks I take, the ergonomic setup of my desk, whatever, I'm starting to feel the onset of RSI creeping in. So, I want to see what keyboards you guys are using. Is the painful switch to Dvorak worth it? Have you found a particularly decent keyboard that is incredibly comfortable? I'm currently seriously considering: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5113536463&ssPageN ame=STRK:MEWA:IT but $300 is a lot to blow on a keyboard. Even if it does have an emacs mode. Anybody used these and reccomend them, or condemn them? Any thoughts/comments gratefully received before I get the credit card out. -- Paul Robinson http://www.iconoplex.co.uk/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-chat-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
