I used a GeekDesk for about 6 months and started to get numbness in either hand that I tried to use my mouse with. I guessed that it was related to the new pressure on the wrist, because my arm no longer rested on my chair's armest. I've went back to sitting most of the time and the numbness went away.

This problem can be easily solved by finding the correct the following:

1. Correct standing height (i.e. bicep & forearm creates a 90% angle) 2. Forearm, wrist, & back of your hand is straight as possible when typing.
