The fact that I can’t sit still seems to have protected me in some way from RSI. However I have limited use of my right hand after breaking my elbow 2 years ago and use the Freestyle 2 Keyboard plus an arm rest for my right arm http://www.backinaction.co.uk/ergorest These arm rests are designed for people with RSI and are brilliant, I really couldn’t do as much as I do without it.
I’ve had to learn to use a trackpad left handed. I use Sticky Keys on the Mac for keyboard shortcuts which means I don’t need to hold down multiple keys at once.
My typing speed has halved and while I love the idea of text to speech, I can’t get my ideas down like that. There is something about typing for me that helps me write!
