Poor Man's Kinesis Keyboard: The K'nexis Keyboard
Jon_Aquino writes "For programmers like me with wrist pain (the dreaded Emacs Pinky syndrome), I have made a simple keyboard modification that lets you press the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys with your thumbs.

Forum:Ergonomic Input Devices
Brian Gregor wrote in with a suggestion for a forum. He says "I am recently been suffering from pain and stiffness in my wrists and forearms after using standard computer keyboards and mice, including my Logitech Mouseman. Aside from a trip to a doctor, I am looking into ergonomic keyboards and mice. Some feedback and suggestions from the slashdot community would be great, especially since I imagine that this is not a rare problem. " I'm very interested in this. My wrists often are quite sore at the end of a long day. Brian sent a few relevant links also: Kinesis makes ergo keyboards, the Anir mouse, The Twiddler which has linux drivers.
