I've been using the Microsoft Natural series keyboards for years. Split, and ergonomic.

I use plug-in Sennheiser HD 569 headphones, for better audio experience. But with that, I have a Koss in-line volume control. I'm very picky with how loud things are, so I use the volume control to fine-tune it frequently. Much easier than having to constantly tweak software settings for volume.

+1 on the left-handed trackball and right-handed vertical mouse. I don't use both together, though. My trackball is a Kensington Orbit, with scroll ring.

I also have a cheap graphics tables, a Huion, for some digital painting or to help with creating software architecture diagrams.

I use a 4-computer USB switch; it has 3 device inputs. So I can switch keyboard, trackball, and a vertical mouse between 4 computers at one desk. Pretty handy. Work laptop, personal/gaming laptop, linux laptop, and desktop/server.

With 2 monitors, I use one monitor exclusively with the linux laptop, and the other monitor I have on a HDMI switch to switch between the other 3 computers.

I like to have SumatraPDF on every Windows machine I use, because it's so fast and light. And I like that I can easily change the theme via the Advanced Settings text file. It's great! Thanks for your work on it!

The place where I learned to do deep meditation also had a strong emphasis on self-pacing. Maybe that would help reduce these kinds of negative experiences. With meditation, more isn't better, and it's important to stay grounded.

(Note that I rarely meditate anymore, but it did help me through some difficult times)
