Noisy office chair.
<< < (8/10) > >>

At my last office, the chairs they bought were $1200 Giroflex chairs. (Swiss made, so probably similar quality to an $800-1000 made-in-USA chair.) Maybe not the very best bang for buck, but comfortable, durable, and quiet. A good office chair is not to be underestimated. (Same goes for any other item even distantly related to ergonomics, like desks, keyboards, lamps, etc.)

The cheapest nod to ergonomics I have are a pair of Anker vertical mice.  One is on my docked company laptop and the other on my main computer.  About $20 USD each and much more comfortable to use with my arthritic hands than a standard mouse.  They are funny looking, though.

You can actually use these?  :wtf:

You have to be a monster! :scared:

It does look strange but it fits my hand perfectly.  Then again, I do wear a size 13 wedding ring. :-DD

Finally an update on the noisy office chair. I bought two products to try. One is Electrolube Dry Film Lubricant, and the other is 3-in-one brand Which lithium grease, both in aerosol cans.

I put some of the dry film lubricant on the moving plastic parts, and the grease on the metal parts (the rails where the seat moves in and out). I'm pleased to say this seems to have cured it, and my chair is now more or less silent!  8).

I think the grease on the metal rails tackled most of the noise.
