    Adjustable height desk.

    A good chair that is the proper height and adjustable.

    Adjustable height monitor supports.

    Ergonomics is all about geometry. Most of the problems people try to fix w8th wrist supports or ergonomic keyboards are really problems with sitting too high or too low in comparison to the keyboard and/or monitors.

    The ability to raise and lower the chair, the desk, and the monitors independently will make a world of difference.

      I might also add that some people forget about the “repetitive” in Repetitive Stress Injury. Adjustable is your friend because it allows you to find a really good posture, and also because it allows you to accommodate multiple postures through a day or month or whatever.
