Repetitive Strain Injury on a Laptop?

lassykk

Hi my girlfriend was recently diagnosed with repetitive strain injury as a result of using a laptop for work for 40 hours a week.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend an USB keyboard to alleviate this problem? I heard that there are ones with wrist supports and stuff like that helps with this sort of injury. That way she could use that instead of the keyboard built-in to the laptop.

Also a docking station is not an option in her line of work

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hey,

I got one from Argos which is cheap/easy to use, and includes a wrist support. http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=30001&catalogId=1500001151&langId=-1&searchTerms=6756114&Submit=GO+%3E

Of course there are more expensive ones out there, but just be wary about the high prices as they do the same thing/have the same features!

It's an ergonomic keyboard your looking for. Like this one for 70 yoyo's.

Plenty of mini breaks are recommended also.

I'll recommend she has a look at the two mentioned.
