As an orthopaedic nurse for many years, I was intrigued, so off I went....

Looks great for those of you with RA particularly.

Hi Moira and Poll

Thanks for the ideas 

My wrist and fingers are fine (so far   )

OH bought me a wrist support thingie last year, but I couldn't get on with it .. may give it another go, although now I've moved the mouse mat my arm"s definitely not so uncomfortable   

The only problem is that I keep hitting the keyboard with the mouse

PS ... when I started using the computer, I was getting cramp and all sorts of aches in my hand and wrist ... the mouse was too wide for me (a cordless one).
Problem solved ... I have OH's wired mouse from his laptop ... it's small and lightweight

Hi Polldoll,

I have a mouse mat with a wrist support on it and it helps to a certain extent. It is also important to have a good chair which you can be adjusted to suit the individual. Also remember to take a break at least every 2 hours.

I've just Googled "Vertical Mouse" and it seems to be a good idea, if you trust the writeup.
However as already stated they do not come cheap!  The Jury is out!!

  Well the latest experiment is to use the wrist support thingie 
+ two extra mouse mats     

It's a Fellowes Geometrix gel wrist and mouse pad ....

The mouse pad doesn't give me enough room to manoeuvre, so I've stuck 2 ordinary mouse mats together (side by side) and put them on top of it.

This seemed like a good idea but now the mouse hits the keyboard with its head and the wrist rest with its bottom

   New strategy and FABULOUS new invention 

Step stool + some large, thick books on top + an unused kitchen cupboard door

Yaaaayyyyyyyyy      .... I can rest my elbow and forearm on this very comfortably and my mouse hand and wrist feel so relaxed

And they say we have forgotten how to improvise 
Well done Rachel
