Is your workstation /kind/ to your body?
I've been trying to get serious about good ergonomics, but there's so much information and so many products out there that it's difficult to know what to spend money on and what to do in general. Does /kind/ have an ergonomic set-up? Are there are any ergonomic products you like (or dislike)? Not just for computers, but even things like book stands and ergonomic pens. Are there any stretches you like? Do you do any other activities to help prevent/reduce pain, like grip training?
A lot of people swear by trackballs and mechanical keyboards. Have you ever tried these? Did they work for you?

I've never given any thought to ergonomics. Which is probably why I developed carpal tunnel syndrome recently. Going to get one of those braces when I have time and see if that helps.

I've been thinking about this lately. I don't have a workstation and until now I've spend most of my time in bed but its killing my back. So I have a desk and prop the laptop up on a couple books so I'm not straining my neck. Personally, I'd say mechanical keyboards are a bit overrated. They are nice but not as great as people make them out to be. Avoid shallow chiclet keyboards.

Gaming chairs are trash. They aren't comfortable at all and hurt your back. You want a chair with a nice curve, a good head rest, and you can lean back in. Sadly, good office chairs are expensive so I'm saving up.

I like to do this at the window, using the window's ledge instead of a table like in the video. Especially while working from home and listening to some boring Zoom call.

This is also pretty good, and the first one you can do while sitting. I don't have the problem mentioned at the beginning of the video but this still feels really good, especially for my left leg which is pretty tight in this position.

Its got a homey feel, although i'd like a better office chair with a higher backing since it ends slightly below my shoulders and i cant lean back in it
But i sit in a lot of weird positions in my chair so my choice probably wont improve much other than comfort
My desk is deep but fairly small, and i keep most of my possessions in my room, in addition to sleeping in this room
this keeps everything within arm reach even if I have my headphones on
My keyboard is also a 65% one which some say is ergonomic since you move your hands less to reach different keys, but I just think its more convenient and gives more space to put food on my desk without the keyboard getting in the way
