  1. Re:it's the mouse.. on On Using X w/o the Rodent · · Score: 1

    no, i literally find reaching over for the mouse to be the most painful!
    once my arms/wrists are in a comfortable, relaxed position, i have to make a major arm movement for the mouse...

  2. it's the mouse.. on On Using X w/o the Rodent · · Score: 1

    in my opinion (as a longtime carpel tunnel sufferer) it's the mouse that causes most of the pain. Once you get a good keyboard setup, the biggest pain is having to always reach over to move and click.
    on my *tight* budget I use a simple split keyboard with an integrated touchpad. it's not perfect (there are better setups i'd prefer), but it has helped a LOT. i wish i could have found a keyboard with the touchpad in the middle (between the split), as that would eliminate even more movement..
    oh well.
