I used to use the MS keyboard at work but since I do a lot of mousing it was giving me problems because it has a big numeric keyboard on the right and is therefore soooo wide that using the mouse was giving me a lot of wrist pain. So, I switched to the Kinesis Freestyle, though I use bean bags to adjust its degree of "tenting" instead of using their optional stands. I am a happy camper. This is a much better solution than the MS keyboard. It's lasted quite a few years.

I have a problem with my lower right arm (torn biceps tendon), so I switched mousing to my left hand. Took a while to get facile with it, but now it feels natural, especially with Apple's Magic Mouse. A bonus is that with the MS keyboard it's plenty close to the left side.

"Bean bags"? Do they still make bean bags?
