After years of pain, I was also diagnosed with TOS. I will not go for surgery however, as this can make things more complicated. A split keyboard (I got the moonlander some months ago) did have a little effect for me, however not a huge one I was hoping for. I'm trying/doing a lot of posture related exercises. Some days its better, some days its hard to get through the work day. Would appreciate any hints which made things better for others with TOS and a desk job. It's a constant trial & error with ups and downs here.

I would definitely recommend a sit-stand desk. Variation is key. Try to figure out if holding your shoulders up or down makes things worse and adjust your arm support accordingly. A good desk chair can help, with adjustable or removable arm support. You can try out different ergonomic keyboards or mice, but that can get pretty expensive, with no guaranteed results (and lots of frustration). Look on eBay for used ones or find a vendor with an extended return policy.

Take enough breaks, no matter what. Take a walk, no matter how short. Get the blood and nerve signals in your arms flowing.

Switch between desktop, laptop or tablet during the day. Use them for specific tasks (like reading mails on your tablet, development or content creation on your desktop and casual browsing on your laptop.

But I’m pretty sure you’re already familiar with most of my advice.
