Recommendations for Ergonomic Office EQ

A visitor noted that there are lots of links and posts about ergonomic equipment in this blog, but--aside from a few reviews--not too many recommendations.  He wanted to know what he should buy.  Since I'm just one writer, I can't claim to have tried everything available on the market or even a large portion of what's out there.  However, I decide to make a list of what I'm currently using in case some people find that helpful.  I have done quite a bit of trial and error, especially with keyboards and mice, to find a set-up that works well for me. 

Keyboard: Kinesis Contoured Keyboard from http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/
Mouse: iGesture from the now defunct FingerWorks http://www.fingerworks.com/
Chair: Herman Miller Aeron Chair http://www.hermanmiller.com/
Desk: An L-shaped desk from Office Depot (nothing special here, but avoid desks with keyboard trays/slideouts since they're rarely at the right height) http://www.officedepot.com/
Keyboard Tray: Solution Platform, again from Kinesis.
Voice Recognition Software: Dragon NaturallySpeaking from http://www.nuance.com/
Break Reminder Program: Albion Stop Now from http://www.albionresearch.com/astopnow/

Hope this helps.  Good luck!

I just found your site when searching for ergonomic information and blogs about ergonomics and was very impressed. You keep your site up to date, with new material and helpful links and ergo stuff. Just wanted to let you know what a great site you have. I would also like to link to your blog through my own ergonomics blog, let me know if I can place a link on my site to yours to send people to you for more information on alternative ways to combat carpal tunnel syndrome. Thanks for the great info.

Hi, it's a wonderful site on Ergonomics.

I am a graduate student and am looking for some data on ergonomics in railway compartments. I would be really glad if you can help me out.
