I lowered my desks so that I am sitting with my thighs horizontal (feet flat on the floor) and my forearms horizontal.
I refuse to use keyboards that have palmrests that reach far enough to negatively impact my wrists. I also greatly prefer palm rests that have a rounded front edge.
At the same time, when using a traditional computer keyboard (not a laptop), I have a palmrest that lines up with the heels of my palms.
I switched to lower profile keys that have accurate and comfortable registration.
Back when I was in cubeland, I deliberately got up and moved around every half hour or so, unless I managed to gain intent focus (not so easy, in cubeland).
