I've been down this route many times. And after Dvorak, Kinesis, and a wide assortment of supposedly ergonomic keyboards, El-cheapo $15 Kensington USB keyboards and $20 Logitech trac-balls turn out to work best with my wrists, occasionally aided by Imax smartgloves.

I have a veritable museum of failed keyboards and pointing devices in my closet. IMO there is no silver bullet here. Also to extend your automotive metaphor, my nephew's late model diesel pickup gets 30+ mpg. Appearances and brand new shiny can be deceiving.

Have you tried the sculpt? I was having wrist pain that was preventing me from working up until about a week after mine arrived.
Its predecessors, yes, many times. The brand new shiny $100 Sculpt? No.
The sculpt with the mouse is about $60 on amazon.

Used, not new...

If someone were to lend me this combo for a couple weeks, I'd be happy to evaluate it, and if it worked, I'd buy a bunch of them. But I have a working solution right now so I'm not really in the market for an upgrade.

No, that is the brand new cost. I just bought one.

You may have to be logged in to see it?

Well I'm past the edit period, but apparently it isn't available at this price anymore (although I swear it was this morning when I linked it, huh!)

Cheapest I'm seeing now is $80 :( -- bummer!

I need large mouses to not get hand pain, and the sculpt mouse has been the biggest mouse that I've found that fit that criteria for me quite well. It's even bigger than the mx master.

I haven't found a larger traditional mouse yet.
