Last weekend, while I was Googling something I discovered a whole library of interesting YouTube Tutorials by by a local South African expert (with thoroughness similar to Hidden's tutorials), including this one on the ergonomic setup of the hardware of a computer station. I've seen some before, but this one is spot on with practical illustrations.
On corded vs cordless mouse topic, please check the section about his choice of mouse at the 9:15 minute mark of the tutorial below. What is noteworthy is his theory of how a small "tradional shaped" mouse used over a long period of time can create repetitive injury - he favours a vertical mouse and says size is as important (to fit your hand) as orientation of the mouse. Also he suggests that there should be as little resistance in sliding the mouse - so it should have an optimal gliding surface. So I'd think cordless would be better in this instance, as corded does create some resistance or obstacles with dragging on a line. I'd imagine a vertical mouse would be mostly cordless. I've never used a vertical mouse before but am looking out for one now - should be fun to try it out:
