Regular keyboards and mice are really bad ergonomically, but laptops are even worse in my mind. Just awful to work on.

At work I have a MacBook Pro, but I'm using it with an external keyboard (a Goldtouch split keyboard) and an external pen-like mouse called Ullman Penclic mouse. The keyboard is not a Mac keyboard, so I've remapped a lot of keys using Keymando (works great).

I had really bad RSI problems several years ago, but managed to get it under control, and now I can work without problems. The biggest reason I got better was that I started to use a break program (the keyboard and mouse also helped). On my MacBook I use RSI Guard.

I've written about how I beat RSI: http://henrikwarne.com/2012/02/18/how-i-beat-rsi/ and about Mac OS X break programs: http://henrikwarne.com/2012/02/26/mac-os-x-break-programs-re...
