Dude, repetitive strain injury is no joke. Left unchecked, RSI is not only a painful affliction, it can also impede your ability to complete your work. It’s a major problem if you let it get out of hand. Luckily for us, it can also be avoidable. Oh yeah, there’s loads of stuff we can do to mitigate the strain we put on our bodies.
One such thing I recently did was get a new keyboard. It’s a mechanical one, by the way, but I won’t go on too long about that. My old keyboard was terrible for my desk, and therefore, also my wrists. I was starting to feel some soreness in my joints. A new keyboard, and following the advice in this dispatch, helped a lot.
