Hey,
I did in fact test it, and it worked great!
The shields are for the protoss, a faction in starcraft. It is going to be
neat to implement that.
Yeah, I have tried to get ergonomic in hopes to save on my shoulders. I
really don't know why, but my doctor keeps telling me that he thinks my
shoulder was dislocated recently...but that has never happened to me as far
as I can remember. It was just a weird conversation.

Yes, that's the idea in a nutshell :) Let me know if it works out for you!
And no probs. A fresh brain to a problem and all that.
The tests sound painful enough, let alone the condition. My mum had carpel
tunnel as well and it seemed to plague her something chronic until she got
it operated on too. Like you, it could well have been computer use. She was
better afterwards though. So hopefully it works out for you too. Sucks to
hear about the other stuff though. I don't blame you for trying to battle
through it to use the computer though.
Would there be any different keyboards that might reduce strain or something
like that that might make it easier?
