As someone who sits in front of computers way above the average and never had any issues with eyes or hands (while others my age had issues there) I think this is the key:
Try to get into the habit to stretch your wrists/fingers when you are not using them and try to do the same thing with your eyes (eyes are muscles too), by e.g. focusing onto something far away, rolling your eyes, etc.
If you are of the type that gets lost in work some reminder can help, but I think it is better to form habits of using thinking breaks to do the stretching. Nobody types regularily for 3 hours straight without interrupting to think at least for a bit once every few minutes. If you use these breaks to stretch, you will be fine.
Ultimately a person with good habits will be able to work healthy with seemingly unergonomic setups, while a person with bad habits will be able to use even the most ergonomic setup in unhealthy ways.
Everybody knows that collegue who has that incredibly expensive ergonomic chair and sits on it like a bored prototypical teenager. Habits will always trump tools, unless your tools are so incredibly bad, it will be self evident that they are.
Curiously, unlike many, my wrists and fingers have been fine but I have tight/frozen shoulder and neck issues. Keeping the UHK halves apart and Magic Trackpad in the middle has probably been helpful, I can’t say yet.
Sounds like an issue with chair/desk height and/or monitor height. Anyways there are stretches and exercises that you can do that target that neck and shoulder portions specifically.
If you are otherwise healthty, doing those exercises 15 to 30 minutes per day will have you pain gone in a week.
And if you get a feeling for which muscles they are targeting you might be able to find variations of those stretches that you can do inbetween while sitring at your computer.
I developed shoulder pain because my chair armrest was too high so was propping my shoulder up ever so slightly.
It took me a while to figure out, and my pain went away quite quickly once I’d understood the problem.
More recently, someone took my chair and moved the head rest by a few centimeters. This pushed my head forward a bit - bam ! Neck pain.
You might want to check your chair/posture ( or it might be unrelated).
