Hey guys,

After almost two decades of doing a lot of typing, I've started to experience some carpal tunnel. I think part of it at least is associated with how much I've been using my Macbook the last three years (white, early 2009) since prior to that I was always a desktop guy. So, I have an external mouse, but I'm going to get an external keyboard to put in the keyboard drawer of my desk. I'd also like to get one of those foam things to go before the keyboard and a lifter to put the Macbook's screen up at eye level.

Does anyone have any external keyboard (wired or wireless (although I'm leaning towards wired unless typing on my lap is a good idea - as long as it feels good to type with and is highly ergonomic), lifter, and general ergonomic setup suggestions? Right now I can't afford a new desk or chair, but I'm willing to shell out for a good keyboard and setup with what I do have.

Thanks!
