Thanks for the info, everyone.

I've done some more research myself. Basically, I've read everything I can find on the topic (from Cornell University, OSHA, HP, and some private websites), and gone with the consensus.

The most important thing seems to be typing with a neutral position in your arms and wrists. This can best be done with an adjustable height, negative tilt keyboard tray.

Next, comes good posture, in a decent (not necessarily fancy or expensive), adjustable chair with lower back support. And positioning everything in line, where you don't have to reach or twist.

The mouse is a big culprit as well - many substitutes exist, the best is probably a gesture pad.

My posture, chair, and setup are already pretty good. I already ordered a gesture pad. So, I'm off to finding and ordering a keyboard arm & tray...

One thing I can't fiugre out: How do these things attach to your desk? Do I need to drill holes in my desk (yuck!)?

And, does anyone else have any experience or recommendations (positive or negative), with keyboard arms & trays? Things to look out for...
