I have a desk in one suite that is motorized and changes from sitting height to standing height in 20 seconds. The heights are pre-programmed and monitors, control panels, keyboards all move with the desk surface. I also work out at the gym 4 or 5 times a week, squash, racquetball, weights, exercise machines and never have any physical issues even though I am almost 59. Keeping your muscles and joints strong is a big part of avoiding injuries from RSI. People half my age at our facility are plagued by these issues even though they work shorter hours than myself. Get yourself a gym membership and a trainer. Takes time and dedication but the other benefit is the added energy you'll have from being fit all the time.
I always thought wrists were the thing to watch out for, however I am finding that my shoulders are more sore than my wrists and my knees get so stiff I walk like John Wayne whenever I get up after even an hour or so of sitting. Add to that all the research about sitting too much and I think an adjustable desk is in my future. Producers Playhouse Oklahoma City 405-858-0700

I agree Emile that the click drag is a stressor. I have been considering some kind of foot pedal for use as a modifier key. I'll have to look at the Elite.
Also, I never thought I would get any RSI from using a tablet but I feel some issues going on near my elbow. It took over a decade but I think using the stylus may have eventually caught up with me. Lately I'm using a mouse about 25-30% of the time to switch it up. I'm also considering a larger tablet to shift some of the movement to my shoulder instead of all wrist and elbow.
