Hello

"Reaching back and forth for the mouse wastes time and strains your
wrist, which can lead to repetitive strain injuries"

i would say i prefer a pain on a hand than on the head or neck, but
may be some disagree ;).

Anyway it is interesing for some people, mainly for those who can't
move the hands or use a mouse.
