Thanks for sharing, For the past week,i feel slight pain on finger joints; so being a bit cautious, as it can be related to RSI. If i stop using keyboard for sometime it goes away. but will be back after typing for sometime.

I've had it badly. Written a post about it: http://romansnitko.posterous.com/how-i-cured-tendonitis Thing that cured it like magic was a couple of immobilization splints (scroll to the bottom to see pics).

That sounds like RSI. But don't just listen to random people on the internet, go talk to a doctor or a physio.

What territory are you in? Are you an employee? If EU, there is EU law saying that all employers must do an ergonomic assessment of a workplace.
