As I work on a computer pretty much all day, I've developed the same
problem.  As far as I'm converned, the mouse has much more potential
to caouse CTS than the keyboard does.  Part of the problem is that I
have fairly big hands -- my palm doesn't rest on the bump of a
microsoft mouse like some other people's do.  My final solution was
twofold: first, I use the keyboard for everything I can (arrow keys
for scrolling, etc.) and second, I went to Computer City and played
with every mouse they had to find the one that I felt I could use
without eventually suffering any hand/wrist pain.  This ended up being
the little logitech two-button mouse as it's the smallest, thinnest
mouse I could find.  This has mostly to do with how I hold a mouse, so
YMMV.  I've even tried various trackballs -- the bigger ones are a
pain for game playing, and the trackman marble has caused me more
problems than anything at all.

Of course the best solution is just to not use the computer or the
mouse for that long, but Diablo _is_ terribly addictive :).
