Well hell, if you've been a good boy all year, I'd ask Satan^WSatan for
one of these babies:

http://www.fingerworks.com/lp_product.html

couple of hundred dollars, and hugely configurable. Zero force, doubles
as a mousepad, available in Dvorak or qwerak, makes your typing as easy as
thinking.

Been using it daily for two years, since the RSI pixies stole my tendons
to make tennis rackets, and it's a beauty. It will crush you.
See the flash demos for a hint of its power.

Admittedly I had a slight altercation over the import duty (first time I've
ever been called a 'theiving weasel' by customer support), but I forgive them.
