Alternative input entry methods to alleviate repetitive strain injuries /u/markraidc CSCQ protests reddit

As you know, it’s not so much a matter of if, but rather a matter of when 😄 Over the past 3 decades, I’ve probably had all sorts of different wrist/arm/hand issues. (all of which I have thankfully, recovered from)

I’m acquainted with at least *some* alternative input methods, but I would love to learn techniques which have worked for you.

Here are some that I have used:

– Win+H on Windows for voice input.
– Enable Viacam as a mouse replacement.
– Evoluent VerticalMouse.
– Switching hands for mouse.
– Dragon Dictate.
– Proper ergonomic seating.

I have yet to try this:

– TapStrap2 / TapXR
– an “Air Mouse”

I understand that there are also more expensive ergonomic solutions which provide a lot more support for the arms, and are often provided within a corporate setting via a note from one’s doctor, but I’ve never looked into those.
