RSI

If it's any comfort 'm 56 and don't have RSI, so I'm ok thanks.

Yeah, but let's be fair, you don't need a keyboard to sign on or when your most intimate relationship is with Siri.

I tried acupuncture. It went badly. After my hand jumped after a needle was stuck in my meridian nerve and the guy said "can you see the energy being released" I had electric shocks in my arm for 10 months.

Tai Chi, thanks for the suggestion, how do you think it would help?

Flow of energy through your joints - might do something, might not. Another one is chi kung. A lot of old people do it to stay mobile, must have some effect. Can't hurt to try.

1) Get two trackballs (for both hands - you'll have to learn how to use another hand with trackball).

https://www.ebuyer.com/143730-kensin...ckball-64327eu - use it for left hand

For right the best one is sadly discontinued and it fetches premium pricing now:

If trying to get used to trackballs for the first time then might as well try if you like others - best to get used to something you can buy a lot NOW and avoid having to pay premium later.

2) Get Microsoft Natural Keyboard - it will be hard to get used to it but you won't go back, ie:

I've done this around 15 years ago, mostly got RSI down from very painful to nearly 0% now, would have been 0% if I wasn't posting tulip on here

I know a few people who have switched from using a mouse to a graphics tablet, it does take a week or so to get used to but they now no longer suffer from RSI.

RSI got me a few years ago split ergonomic keyboard did the trick - back on the laptop now but no longer a code monkey.

what's that?

I had RSI years ago, but taught myself to relax, and stop gripping the sticks so tightly

Cut down on the wanking or use your other hand or pay MF 25p to do it.

And don't forget to ask for change...

I've had this problem, this is how I solved it...

1) Gel wrist pad - Durable 5749 It's high and firm so does the job.

2) Replace mouse with trackpad. I use Apple Trackpad 2, you can download windows drivers that work.

I'm fine now as a result.
