A split kb with integrated trackball would help alleviate the awkward mousing situations, e.g. the charybdis [1]. I'm in a similar position having gone down the ergo split keyboard rabbit hole and vim everywhere, now building a charybdis myself 1. https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis

Dactyls look interesting too (1). Personally, I'm thinking an 'electric eraser' mounted as a thumb stick would be good too. 1. https://github.com/trentrand/ergonomic-keyboard https://github.com/trentrand/ergonomic-keyboard

warpd has helped me, as far as limiting annoying mouse use. https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd

    It's great, I mostly get by with Tridactyl on the browser but there's the odd website that doesn't work well with it. Warpd does better than anything else at this job. I do have a keymap to get the pointer out of the way, warpd is quite scriptable.

I went with the less DIY model by getting a UHK with a trackball thumb module: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/product/trackball https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/product/trackball

Heh, I do 2hrs of z2 4x a week (8hr total) with a Charybdis and inclined treadmill. I use two wrist rests rubberbanded together though; the height of the Charybdis is significant and I don't hover my hands. I'm usually programming, though when I run into more complex problems I usually switch to less cognitively burdensome tasks. Or I just stare out the window and let my gut sit on the problem... which is surprisingly effective in coming up with solutions. https://imgur.com/a/YpQElUs https://imgur.com/a/YpQElUs I clamped a piece of wood to the desk's edge to have something to push against, as having a point of stability is nice. You can see the back of the treadmill's control panel - I took a regular treadmill, dismantled it, and mounted the panel to my adjustable desk. The treadmill is propped up on blocks to get a ~12% incline; my usual pace is around 3.1-3.4mph, depending on the season/humidity. Sweat... is significant. I usually have a towel under my wrists to uh... collect the arm-runnage >_> I'm using ball transfer units for the trackball. They're nice, but (as with all trackballs) you should clean the BTUs if you want to keep the smooth flicking. I use a 4k tv as my monitor, so flicking from one corner of the screen to the laptop screen all the way on the other side is really nice.
