Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

Martin, Michael G. (1993): Of Mice and Pens: Low Risk Healthy Postures for Modern Computing. In: Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1993. pp. 791-796.

The current epidemic of musculoskeletal complaints, particularly cumulative trauma disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome and lower back disorders, among computer users has focused attention on the inadequacy of traditional ergonomic guidelines for a healthy keyboarding posture.

Powers, James R., Hedge, Alan and Martin, Michael G. (1992): Effects of Full-Motion Forearm Supports and a Negative Slope Keyboard Support System on Hand-Wrist Posture while Keyboarding. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 796-800.

The effects of full motion forearm supports and a negative slope keyboard support system on hand-wrist posture was tested. No differences in posture were found between normal use of a keyboard and that with full motion forearm supports. Use of the negative slop keyboard support system increased body-to-screen distance and reduced wrist extension so that the wrist was vertically neutral for keyboarding.
