Here’s a product that is marketed to those experiencing Blackberry thumb. That’s the affliction where your thumb gets tired after typing lots of text on the tiny Blackberry Keyboard. While this whole gizmo looks a bit odd - apparently it’s for real. It will cost you $39 and there’s a whole exercise routine that comes with it. Check out the full video at LaptopMag - and by the way - if you’re Blackberrying so much that you need to exercise your fingers with this contraption then you might also want to start looking up divorce attorneys because your spouse is probably going to put their foot down faster than you can unbox and use the Xtensor.

I wonder if that would help for just regular issues from sitting at a keyboard too long… seems like laptop mag says it would.
For the price - I’ll have to pass - but the overall concept may actually be really good folk like me who are at a keyboard more than they are away from it. I find after 12 hours at work my wrists are bit sore. May actually help improve my guitar hero abilities too

This makes me laugh, only because I got a BB Curve 8330 a couple of weeks ago and now understand the terms “Crackberry” and “Blackberry”…haha. They say necessity is the mother of all inventions, but not sure this works any better than an old tennis ball, but great ingenuity in any case.
…I must say Wayne great nails and killer pearl bracelet:)
