Looking for some PC accessories

[Mark]

Weird request but anyhow, does anyone know or even have one of those mouse pads they used to sell that you strap to your leg. I know I'm gonna catch some flak but if it works why knock it and on a similair subject I need a keyboard stand that will increase the angle it sits at, I already have the legs extended but I have to put a couple of cd cases under the legs to get the angle I want.

Get a track ball instead

What kinda sites are you visiting?

Track ball won't work, and Rancid this site

The reason is I have bought a new computer desk and the height is rather much higher than the unit I had before, My chair is on its highest setting so can't just go buy a new chair plus they cost way too much and the one I have is very comfortable, so when typing the angle of the keyboard feels wrong to me so I want a greater angle...as far as the mouse pad thing as a lot of time I am surfing just with the mouse and I will end up with an sore wrist due to the new height of my desk...I have a cordless mouse and when the mouse pads that strapped to your leg were released the mice available were all cabled versions so it was a silly idea now the need and actually use will work perfectly I just need to find one. I knew I was opening myself up for a flak but then the reasoning for why is sound, a lot of people swear by those offset keyboards and track balls but they aren't for everyone.

If the "rake" on your keyboard is too great then your wrists get bent back too much, and can cause RSI...

I understand about RSI, the same applies if your keyboard is too flat, to put into words how I want the rake to be is difficult but for the keyboard to be comfortable FOR me I need it at a greater than normal angle, this all brought about by the new desk...if I was higher or the desk lower it would be fine...can't alter those two things so to alter the keyboard is the answer...some people don't even use the feet on keyboards I have even looked at other peoples PC's and when I have put the feet out they have commented that they didn't even know they were there ! and how much more comfortable the act of typing is now I could put the keyboard on my lap but then I have a trailing lead and that isn't any good....for the cost of a keyboard stand versus a cordless keyboard...no contest and I would still have the mouse location problem Ok some could say that I shouldn't have bought the desk but then for the other things I need at hand on the desk, rather than spread about previously it made sense, perhaps I will look at adding a pull out draw but even that will be counter productive as the chair then won't fit under the desk
