Thanks for this really insightful blog entry Andy. I had a few wrist pains a couple of years ago but went to see a physiotherapist who gave me a few exercises to do which sorted it out. I was wary of it returning though so I went to some lengths to improve my keyboard and mouse. I tried a trackball for a while before I realised it was just moving all the stress on to a different set of joints. Ideally I'd really like a separate USB or wireless touchpad but practically no one makes these and none of the ones I've seen look particularly good. On the keyboard front I've always loved scissor-key keyboards ever since I got my first iBook long ago, so I got a MacAlly IceKey which was really nice, I then replaced it with Apple's new keyboard which is about the same in terms of ergonomics, though a little flatter which I guess makes it a bit better.
I'm really intrigued by the idea of the sit-stand desk, I might have to invest in one of those, looks like you can have one for around £500 in the UK.
