My first brush with RSI was drawing with my tablet too far to the right hand side, and pressing too hard. Nowadays it's just improper placement and having to crane over the tablet (with my left hand) to the keyboard shortcuts.

Out of interest, and assuming you use a tablet with extra buttons, how do you use them? Or do you disable them like virtually every other tablet user I've ever met :)

I disable them. Except for the scroll wheel, which I keep set to "mouse scroll wheel" for really stupid webpages that refuse to show a scrollbar because they assume everyone is on touch devices or has a scroll wheel mouse.

And yeah pressing too hard on the pen will fuck you right up :)

(so will holding it too tight, if an invisible person couldn't easily pluck your pen out of your fingers, you're holding it too hard)
