I tried one of those ergonomic thingies and completely screwed up.. I learned to touch type, have the monitor more than 18 inches away from my head (about 3-4 feet away if I can) and kept missing the home keys. Also, the keypads are always set up for right handers, us lefties need keypads too you know.... having a tab on both sides was infinitely more useful than having a control on both sides. I learned on a thing that had a slope like the north face of the Eiger, so a wrist support is very useful, although at work, I'm not typing great lengths of text like I do here, so it isn't so bad. I find a good high footrest solves a lot of my strain problems. A nice high chair, with a suitably raised footrest, and I'm happy.
