[Sigia-l] rsi (off topic)

[John Fullerton]

I like the keyboard I'm using to be flat on the desk with a wrist pad in
front of the keyboard holding the heels of my hands near keyboard level.
I think that I like to rest my hands on the wrist pad while typing. In
addition, when possible, extra space on the desk between the wrist pad
and the near edge of the desk is nice. (As I remember, it seems that I
was beginning to feel some wrist discomfort a few years ago, and have
not after using these options. Maybe the added height of a wrist pad has
been the most significant addition among the options.)

I'm not a doctor :) and I don't know whether my comments go along with
recommended practice--in particular resting my hands on the wrist pad
while typing.

Have a nice day
