Stop using a mouse. :-) Personal recommendation: IBM SpaceSaver II keyboard. Pros: TrackPoint mouse, Model M layout Cons: Membrane keyswitches, plastic construction I used to use an IBM Model M keyboard, because the buckling-spring keyswitches made a bigger difference in how my hands and arms felt than the natural layout keyboards do. You can't use an M at Axiom, though, because they're too loud and will distract everyone in a fifty foot radius. The ideal keyboard would have a TrackPoint device and a natural layout. My advice?
