I have serious RSI/tendinitis issues, not just as an EQ gamer but also as a programmer. For me using a mouse/keyboard isn't just necessary to game, it's necessary to pay the bills.

But if you're hurting when you try to use them, it means you've injured your body. You can prevent future injury by having proper ergonomics (go buy a good office chair, adjust it properly, buy a keyboard tray, adjust it properly, consider buying an adjustable desk, etc.). You can also help your current injury by icing it and wearing wrist/arm braces to help support it.

All of those are things you can/should do to help you play EQ without injury ... but first you need to take a break for a bit, just to let your injury heal some.

its just simply twist in the wrist to use the mouse that causes stress, chair, desk, supporting it etc dont make any difference, they dont remove the need to twist my wrist to control the mouse. thanks for the input tho, also ive taken years off of gaming and as soon as i use a mouse the pain returns, its simply mouse use that is the problem. I will look into a steam controller tho
