Does anyone else have pain in there fingers? I continue to use a computer all the time, but my fingers are absolutely knackered. Had some tests like 18 months ago for arthritis but they came back negative. I used the computer a lot when i was 14-18, and still a lot now (im 22)... but there getting progressively worse. *SYMPATHY SEARCH NOW OVER*

so forget about that, im just about willing to spend whatever it takes (not that keyboards are usually expensive) to get a keyboard with the lightest key press possible to reduce stress. There was once talk of laser keyboards that project the image of a keyboard onto the desk, and there still there in google now, but they all really old articles. Do they still exist? do they work?

Currently use a logitech dinovo media whatever with the separate keypad thingy... its just not light enough tho. And lets face it, voice recognition doesnt work... u say "hello" it spells "XYLOPHONE".

any suggestions :P
 
i will give it a go. I dont find wrists are too much of a problem tho, its fingers... ive got long fingers (as long as Uma Thurman's)... i think thats where most of the problem lies
 
yeh, might try changing keyboards and mice. This dinovo sorted me out for a while, but since i started writing a 15,000 word essay my fingers feel like there about to drop off... i dont play games hardly ever nowadays... if i make it to the end of the game i feel like it may actually be to the detriment of doing my flies up when im 80... or maybe I just wont care by then.
