      That one is the best from HM... Used by Sheldon Cooper... :laugh: I would have bought this one, but it was too expensive for me... Probably the next one I'll get will be that one though... By now I hope the Sayl from HM will be enough for me and of course is a lot better of where I was sitting before...

          In case of wrist-pain you may want a wrist-support for your keyboard. Sitting on a chair that was left by a house-mate years ago. Works as advertised. As for the brand-names, I do not care one ounce. There's a lot of cheap chairs that offer similar or more.

            Before looking into a chair, I'd look at the keyboard. If you already have an ergonomic keyboard, then by all means, look at the chair next.

              Is it comfortable? Do you like it beyond the "lot better"?

                      Mouse of keyboard caused? You can do a lot with shortcuts and not use the mouse so much. Sometimes I switch to my left hand with the mouse to give the right a break.

                          Would it make more sense to get an accurate diagnosis (wrist pain) before recommending treatment (new chair). It sounds like the only tool HR has in their toolbox is a new chair. Would anybody troubleshoot code that way? First find out what the problem is, then start modifying the appropriate parameters. As a chiropractor I certainly love me some good chair talk but we need to make sure we are addressing the right issue. Could be neck, shoulder,elbow or wrist issue. May be related to work or some other activity (workouts,hobbies, etc). Troubleshooting FTW!

                              Wristbrace. ElasticBand. A side table so you can rest your whole arm level with your wrist ... (carpal tunnel syndrome). (Check the level of your chair left-to-right).

                                Actually, the chair probably did what was needed, but I augmented it with exercises and have no problem. What I had requested was an ergonomic keyboard (already using a nice wrist rest), but the old chair had a broken back and was not able to be locked into an upright position. I went into the Herman Miller site and picked out the back support features I thought I needed and had the chair two days later.

                                  Singular? Do you use a mouse/pad with that hand? Then switch hands. Takes time to learn but doable and much better than repetitive motion syndrome. Once the pain goes away completely switch back and switch back when pain starts again.
