Weird looking keyboard, great RSI reduction
Finally, after six years — the folks who manufacture the keyboard I use have finally gotten an online store. I started using this keyboard in 1995, when I had severe problems with RSI. After about two weeks of adjustment, I could type as quickly on this keyboard as on a regular one, but without feeling pain after 10 minutes (or even 30, as I later found out). It 
also helped the tension in my arms, shoulders, neck, and back — which I didn’t realise that I had. The keyboards are expen$ive, but if you spend a lot of time at the computer, you owe it to yourself to check one of these out. They also sell mice (left-handed mice included).
I originally went looking, though, because I had just purchased my new computer and wanted a keyboard that didn’t have those *&^!#% Windows keys on it. (Update, 2006: the programmable keyboards now have the *&^!#% Windows keys. However…programmable. A little bit of macro-work lets you reclaim your second ALT key.)
