To ensure I retain the usage of my right wrist in later life, my mouse at work is adorned with what some of my work colleagues call "fake testicles". What it's actually called is a mouse bean and it only costs £7. I've been told before that using a mousepad causes your wrist to overreach and puts strain on your hand. Instead, the mouse bean goes wherever my hand goes. It might be helpful to Sinéad who's a sufferer of RSI.

Today, I raided a since-departed colleague's desk for an ergonomic keyboard. It's downright weird to use and I'm having difficulty reconciling the fact that the keyboard is split in half and that my words will now break in two.
