The last few MS wireless keyboards/mice I've used seem to have ridiculously bad range even on full battery. The worst part was it's not consistent. You can be typing a sentence and go back and notice every 5 or 6th letter just isn't there or duplicated. The only way I could get it to work reliability was to have the wireless transceiver practically touching the keyboard itself.

2 other points that are important for RSI/wrist care: keep your wrist in line when you're keyboarding: top of hand in line with top of forearm, and not cocked in towards thumb or out. This means (for me) rolling up a hand towel , put under heels of hands.<p>Also mind your wrists when you're driving, riding bike, using power tools, stuff like that. It's easy to cock your wrists at bad angles doing all of those and more.
