Many people I know around me at work and social suffer from a "mouse
shoulder". I do most of my work in terminals, with Vimperator on my
firefox and Vim as editor, I even dispise to dive to the arrow keys. I
don't have RSI problems, but in my daily work. about 60% of the mouse
grabs are for resetting workrave if I am in a flow. For someone who
hates a mouse, it is very disturbing.

Kindest regards,
