[Gllug] RSI: Was VACANCY: Site Reliability Engineering

[j.roberts]

But seriously:

I got RSI in my right wrist due to excessive mousing I suspect. So I 
shifted to L/H mousing (fortunately I am nearly ambi) some years ago.

Now, alas *sigh* I am getting LH RSI symptoms.

And yes, I use a Natural keyboard which is definitely an improvement.
And yes I mostly admin from consoles - but I do a lot of other, GUI, 
things too.

My question is -

has anyone tried one of those sideways-style mice that enable the wrist 
to be used unrotated?

I mean like these:

or

or even

:)

If so wondered how you got on with it?
