the golden touch
At work, they stock a bunch of ergonomic keyboards and will reimburse the purchase of any keyboard you want (within reason; not sure what the exact limits are) - the same goes for mice too, of course.
One keyboard they stock got my attention: the Goldtouch Keyboard. It splits in the middle and has both vertical and horizontal split/raise adjustments (click the link for a picture; it will make more sense). I've slowly been raising it (so my hands have been moving from flat to being closer to normal orientation) with pretty good success - no real typing stress (not that I had much; I think I never noticed it because I type so much every day and learned to ignore it, I feel it now on my laptop), no real problems finding keys (I tend to type "correctly", but sometimes I'll find my finger in the middle of the keyboard expecting a key to be there), and general success. In addition to being more ergonomic, the key response is really nice too.
Now I need to decide on a cool mouse. I see a lot of people with the Evoluent vertical mouse, so perhaps I'll try one of those out this week.
