I developed RSI from the mouse, I think it was all the Photoshop and catalogue design work I was doing. It quickly prevented me from working – and, even more annoyingly – from playing the piano and other ‘non-computer’ activities too. The pain would sometimes wake me at night.

Then I started using RSIGuard, and an Evoluent mouse – both from Keytools. Now, 12 months later, I’m pleased to say that my RSI is under control – diminishing in fact. I can continue working with a computer, (and I’ve just recorded my second CD!) So three cheers for Keytools – I hope many more people benefit from your advice and great products!

RSIGuard has become something I rely on and wonder how I ever got along without. If you need to live and work with a repetitive strain injury, then you need to find the things that work for you. Other RSI programs I have looked at all take the ‘one size fits all’ approach and forced me to work a certain way that just didn’t help.RSIGuard has so much flexibility and customization that it allows me to stay productive while still causing me to change my work behaviors in ways that mitigate pain and fatigue. I am in control of my injury now, and the computer does not control me. I recommend RSIGuard to anyone with a repetitive strain injury and to everyone in order to avoid it.

'RSIGuard is simply a magnificent program. It's valuable not only to those with RSI, but to anyone who tends to hyper-focus writers, programmers, scientists. At times, I've found myself at work typing for nearly six hours not even knowing that the time has passed, forgetting to even eat. Then I get out of my chair and wonder why my shoulders and back are killing me! With RSIGuard, just to be forced to look at the time was extremely valuable to me. It also lets me know when I'm losing it a little i.e., when I get angry because 15 seconds seems like too long a time to wait, I know that I need to step back. I highly recommend RSIGuard to everyone who works hard it’ll keep your body and hands healthy! '

'RSIGuard gives me a way of monitoring my use and keeps me within my physician's ordered work restriction. It doesn't just keep time. It tells us how much I use the keyboard, the mouse, and how I use each. It helps us both track how I use the computer and gauge the trauma to my hands and arms from using the computer. It's like having an ergonomist looking over my shoulder in a friendly and helpful way. Companies should be flocking to your product. Aside from voice recognition, this is the first software / hardware / human interconnection I've used that blurs the boundaries in a helpful, healthy way.'

'I have found RSIGuard extremely useful in managing an existing problem – mainly the AutoClick feature and reminders to take breaks. I use it in conjunction with a joystick mouse and ergonomic keyboard, and it enables me to work without problems, whereas before I was in pain after about 5 minutes of using a normal mouse. '

'I think your software is excellent. I have RSI in both hands and found that your software is helping me a great deal. In the first day of use, it showed me that I rolled the trackball way too much and I should use the keyboard more. It made a difference to the way that my hands and forearms felt by the end of the day. I can't say that about many pieces of software I have tried.'
Jacques Giraud

'As an ergonomics representative for a large company, I look for ways to help encourage my customers to practice behaviors that follow sound ergonomic principles. One major challenge that I face is helping people understand that taking five minute "micro breaks" each hour is important to their working comfort and more importantly, their health. Most people will forget that an hour or more has passed and continue typing — a sure recipe for Repetitive Strain Injury. I have personally found "RSIGuard" to be a joy to use, and will implement its use for my customers. I really like the fact that "RSIGuard" is a totally personalized approach to ergonomic timing software, not just another keystroke counter or minute timer.'
Dan O'Sullivan

'I LOVE it! I have chronic tendonitis in a finger joint, and since getting RSIGuard and starting to use the AutoClick, I no longer get home with my hand aching after doing a mouse-intensive project.'

RSIGuard has been very useful in terms of ensuring I take adequate breaks to avoid doing further damage. I find it easier to comply with breaks recommended on the grounds of trauma accrued, rather than simply time elapsed since last break. At first I was skeptical about the utility of AutoClick, but now can't imagine life without it.

RSIGuard is definately good for my team and morale has lifted. At first they were worried it was a tool that I could check up on their productivity but now they know that is not the case. It is to look after them and give them regular rest breaks to avoid RSI. Great product and life like exercise break people. Good Stuff Keytools.
