Ah yes, I can definitely see how that can cause problems. Using a mouse cramps my hand and makes my fingers ache. That's why I always use big trackballs - so I can loosen my hand and alternate the fingers I use to roll the ball. I've got a big trackball on every computer I use - including Amiga 500, Mac SE, BeOS PC, even on Atari 800XL (though that one's just for Centipede ).webwit wrote:I think from resting my hand on the mouse for some decades.mr_a500 wrote:I wonder why this happens to some people but not others. I've been typing for decades on ergonomic nightmare keyboards, big hulking loafs of keyboards - without wrist rests, bad layout, typing "like I'm scratching a window" ( )... and I never had any kind of repetitive stress problem.

That black telephone is begging to have a red one next to it. Its the touch of color thats missing from being complete setupmr_a500 wrote:Here's my setup:
My HP monitor case and stand broke (cheap junk), but surprisingly the monitor looks even better without it - metal and thinner. The screen is made by LG. Apparently, all HP contributed to the monitor was the cheap plastic case that broke.

@mr_a500: That is awesome. I love the numpad. Or hexpad, perhaps? Which would be even better.
What's the keyboard on the left? Reminds me of one of the TRS-80s, though I know it isn't one.
BTW, I have a phone like that in red... perhaps it's time to dig it out of the cupboard and install it in the study...

The numpad is the Honeywell hall effect keypad from HaaTa. The keyboard on the left is a DEC VT100 (unusual colours) - not yet USB compatible... but it will be.
The phone was made in 1953, when black was the only colour available (colour came out the next year). All the phones in my house were made 1954 and earlier.
The desk was made by Commodore.

They thought you use such a small keyboard you don't need more room...

And I just modded the M50 with a headphone jack. It's even more portable now!

Thanks! It's the first time I did something like that and I'm really happy with the outcome
Are you really using that keyboard without a wrist rest? Looks pretty uncomfortableGame Theory wrote:Actual desktop

Yeah I am. The wrist rest I've been using is too short though maybe I could stand it on its edgene0phyte wrote: Are you really using that keyboard without a wrist rest? Looks pretty uncomfortable

Yes. Had a 5.1 system which died and went back to the old 2.1.
