It's not the dying part that bothers me. After all, when you're dead, you're dead. It is the RSI that can keep me from enjoying what I do for a living. I was suffering from RSI this past year so I did go out and buy a couple of more ergonomic mice. I needed to buy two; one was the M$ wireless (USB) which is the larger of the two and the other, a wired (PS2) so that I could use it thru my KVM. I've also been using my laptop undocked lots so get respite using the touchpad and chicklet kbd. Combine that with some B vitamins and ASA, and as you see, I am still going.
