iMac 27 inch with 1 KB and 2 Trackpads. 2 trackpads is my top tip. Feels very natural, though use right hand one more often. I've since moved my Sonos Sub, as I was told that a solid floor would be better.

I've not used mice for years, so can't really comment.
But with 2 trackpads - whichever I touch first, right hand or left hand - becomes the active one.

Very Feng Shui, the books kinda spoil it though... biggrin
Can't you get a monitor riser?

Not personally a fan of moving keyboard drawers, prefer to have everything on the same level (you could put your keyboard under your riser then smile

I'd have more expected it to add/subtract the relative movements on them both if they're in use at the same time - that's how mice behave.

Some lovely places to sit in this thread! Mine is still a work in progress as I thought I'd be back in the office by now... New desk is on the way as this one is slowly driving me insane

Its an IKEA floating desk, it usually just has my Linux machine (one in the centre) on it for a bit of browsing throughout the day.

12 hour shifts from home aint so fun.

Sensitivity turned up.

For my job I actually use the tab key more than the mouse, we still use a DOS based program.
