Hey people, I’m looking to get some ergonomic tech for my new job , where they are giving me a MacBook Pro. Does anyone have suggestions for a mouse and an external keyboard? I have a set that I use for my current computer, which is a Lenovo thinkpad, but not sure it will be compatible. I have multiple herniated discs , so trying to be set with my wfh station before starting 🤞

You might need a dongle adapter for USB but you should be able to use the same keyboard and mouse

You can get MX Keys with Apple compatibility.

Invest in a good chair(ergonomic) - there are a few brands that come to mind(Herman Miller, Autonomous, etc.)

Agree with the above comments. Your existing stuff should work - you just need a USB C to USB A adapter which is $5 on Amazon.

Can’t beat the Apple displays.

Definitely get an ergo chair.

Can’t stress the ergo chair enough, super important! I also switched to an upright mouse and it’s a game changer!

Magic trackpad, I don't use a mouse anymore.

Maybe check the specs, my Logitech keyboard and mouse weren’t 100% compatible with my Mac Pro

I got an MX Keys keyboard and MX Master 3s mouse for my work MacBook and they’re great! I prefer them to the Apple accessory options.

Question about fiber.

Last year, I was diagnosed with IBS following a few years of unexplained bloating, chronic upset stomach, and frequent bowel movement.

Because of the diagnosis, I’ve cut back on caffeine to only 1 cup of coffee per day about an hour after waking up before a workout.

Diet is relatively balanced. High protein so I take some enzyme with fiber supplement. Fiber seems to make the IBS bloating worse which on a daily basis is pretty irritating.

Any suggestions?
