If you're worried about RSI, take action now. Don't wait.

Don't get a keyboard like the one in the article. Get one that reduces arm twisting and strain on your tendons.

Fifteen years ago, I had RSI pain in my wrists. I switched to a split keyboard [0] and the pain mostly went away.

After a few years, the aches came back and slowly got worse, especially when using a mouse. Eight years ago, I switched to a tenting keyboard [1] and vertical mouse [2]. Again, the aching and pain mostly went away.

Strength training [3] finally solved my RSI.
