I've been working from home for like three weeks now and my neck is already killing me so I think I need to fix my setup. I'm just using a basic laptop on my kitchen table and it's definitely not working but I have literally no idea what ergonomic even means or what I'm supposed to buy first. Sorry if this is a really dumb question but everything online looks so expensive and complicated. I'm in Chicago and stuck in a tiny apartment so space is an issue too. I have maybe $120 to spend this month.
- do I need a stand?
- should I get a separate mouse or is the trackpad okay?
- what helps with back pain?
I'm just really confused about what actually matters vs what is just fancy looking gear...

I used to have nasty neck cramps back in my old studio. You definitely need to get that screen up to eye level or youre gonna keep hurting. I would suggest a Rain Design mStand Laptop Stand because it's rock solid, but be careful with those cheap plastic ones that wobble. Just make sure to grab a separate mouse like the Logitech M720 Triathlon Multi-Device Wireless Mouse too.
