I moved my screen closer so I didn't lean forwards, I adjusted my chair height and I raised my mouse and keyboard.Īfter about 2 days with the new setup my shoulder pain (which I'd had for over a year because yes I am an idiot) had gone and hasn't returned since, which has now been at least a year. I couldn't lift my right arm more than 45 degrees up away from my body without searing pain, hand would painfully cramp up by lunchtime everyday) was to get the heights of screen, chair and desk right. The one thing that actually stopped me from getting shoulder and hand pain (i.e.

I currently use a Kensington Trackball as my main pointing device (along with MC Mix for faders, MC Transport for wheel and shortcut buttons, iPad and Pro Tools Control for more shortcut buttons). Also have my lcd on an extending arm, on a Sterling Modular style desk. I got a 3m sit stand tray and it has done wonders for my wrist, arm, and neck. I recommend investing in a proper keyboard/mouse tray as well. And lastly, being able to tilt your keyboard and mouse forward a bit will help too. Also having your keyboard and mouse positioned so that your elbows are in at your side, and your fore arms are parallel with the floor. Having your screen position so that you don't have to lean forward is a good idea. The mouse is really only a small part of the equation when it comes to hand and wrist pain. Good to know that switching things up is a good method to combat carpal tunnel. I have a tablet, am looking into a different mouse or track ball, and bought a better chair. Moving back and forth across multiple devices really helps reduce the repetitive stress issues.I appreciate all the good advice. So now I switch up, I use a track ball, I use a mouse, and when its get really bad I switch to my Wacom Tablet. Yes, a good device will reduce the strain and reduce carpal instances, but its all about the repetitive movements and hand positions. I then realized it's not the device alone. After the first couple (I was using the mouse that comes with the Apple computer ). I have had very very bad cases of it when I started.
You can assign horizontal scrolling, a vertical scrolling or shortcut keys. I sit at my computer editing, mixing, etc for 8 to 10 hours straight, 7 days a week, sometimes for a few weeks at a time. You can customize your mouse freely even if there is no Macintosh driver. The one thing you really need to keep in mind is amount of work you'll be doing. There are lots of great devices out there to interact with the computer.
