These are all ergonomic to an extent.

I've suffered from OOS on and off for some time, and have found switching to a drawing tablet (i.e. Wacom tablet) absolutely fantastic for dealing with it.

Unfortunatly it has a PS\2 connection, and as we have just upgraded, and I have not been able to find a substitute with a USB connection. I hope someone comes up with a solution. PPp (9511)
