[Gllug] RSI: Was VACANCY: Site Reliability Engineering

Tried a trackball?

I can't use them. Half the keys are on the wrong side of the divide for
me, the keyboard is still not properly shaped (i.e. contoured), the
keys are still in painful diagonal arrays...

Trackballs let you do that too. I find I can't play Neverball with a
trackball, but I can't really play it *without* a trackball either
so this isn't much of a loss. :)
