Ergonomic Keyboards/Mice

Can someone recommend a good ergonomic keyboard and mouse?

I think you'll find that you'll benefit more from proper
positioning of the keyboard and mouse relative to the rest
of your body than you will to any specific keyboard. Once

I'm a quality assurance engineer that works 8-10 hours on
my PC and I'm noticing strain on my hands and arms,
especially my right side. I usually switch my mouse between
my left and right hand-and I use generic ergonomic keyboard-
but I still feel uncomfortable.

Also, are they any stores that sell these speciality
products (So Cal)? I would love to try them out before I
purchase anything, only
b/c they're pretty pricey.

If you are in urban area, you should find that some of the
devices are in many stores, both your generic big office
supply store and a range of computer stores.

I have no idea how you would be able to test them and know
what might help you (or even feel good) over the long term.

I have the Cirque ergonomic keyboard with a touchpad. I also
had a trackball that I could switch from side to side, but
the new hardware my company installed about five years ago
didn't have any available. When I switched to the Cirque, my
carpal tunnel and wrist problems cleared up.
