    Good advice. I splashed out on the kinesis advantage. A two week holiday and switching to the ergo keyboard cured my tennis elbow. It’s very expensive and took a long time to get used to but I wouldn’t go back.

    I also installed Tridactyl Firefox extension for vim bindings. I don’t use it often but it is handy when you are coding in vim and need to keep switching to a browser to read documentation.

    Edit: The annoying thing about the kinesis is that it only comes in US layout. So when I use it as a UK device I have to do some funny business to get a backslash.

      Kinesis keyboards are sooo expensive. I’d buy one if I could, but I’m ok with the described setup for now.

          Yep vertical mouse is also pretty good.

          I have a rapoo MT750s which is vertical-ish. Although, I rarely use the mouse at all with my setup.
