Like many here, I'm sure, I've dealt with computer related RSI for years. I never made the plunge to mouseless, but I have significantly reduced the incidence of pain in my hands and forearms with these tips:

* Get separate mouse and keyboard wrist rests.

* Use more than one type of mousing device and switch up from time to time (e.g. trackball, trackpoint, touchpad, graphic tablet).

* Use a vertical mouse with a handshake-style grip as opposed to standard palm-down mouse, which can put stress on your forearm and elbow.

* Look up RSI forearm stretches and take breaks to stretch your arms and hands for a few moments at least every few hours. I'm also a big fan of gyro ball exercisers.

* An ergonomic chair with movable armrests can keep your arms at around the same height as the desk your working at, which also helps.

* Scroll long pages by clicking the scroll wheel and mousing down rather than using the scroll wheel the traditional way.
