WFH Ergonomics: 5 Fixes That Saved My Wrists (And My Sanity)

Published: April 01, 2026

After months of ignoring my setup, I finally caved and fixed these 5 things—now my wrists don't scream at me by 3 PM.

1. Monitor height: Top of screen at eye level. Stacked books or a cheap monitor riser works. No more neck cramps.

2. Keyboard tray: Even a $15 under-desk tray prevents wrist bend. My chiropractor approved.

3. Split keyboard: No more claw hands. The Logitech ERGO K-860 was worth every penny.

4. Wrist rests: Gel pads for the keyboard/mouse. Feels like a spa for my wrists.

5. Standing desk hack: If you can't afford one, stack sturdy boxes under your monitor for a temporary fix.

Small tweaks, big payoff. What's your WFH ergonomic hack?
