TableNinja is the bomb!
I discovered TableNinja while I was playing hyperturbo SNGs recently. I wanted a way to make multitabling them easier and more efficient, and TableNinja does all that and more! Because I now spend less time clicking buttons, I can spend more time analyzing situations, and that clearly is +EV.
I won’t go on forever about all the cool things it can do, but here’s my current setup of hotkeys:
Right mouse button: Bet/Raise
Thumb mouse button: Call (if you don’t have a mouse with thumb buttons, you should invest in one!)
F key: Check/Fold (not only because F is for fold, but because its in a nice position for my left index finger)
X key: Sit out next big blind on this table
ctrl-X: Sit out next big blind on all tables
W key: Join waitlist (I haven’t figured out how to join all waitlists of a certain game/stakes, but perhaps that is possible?)
Mouse Wheel: increase/decrease bet by 1BB
My default betsizing for each street is specified in the program (you can get pretty specific with it, too!), so in most situations all I have to do each decision is hover my mouse over the relevant table and click one of my 3 action buttons. The software also takes care of all the minor annoyances of buying in, waiting for the big blind, and other popups. It really does make multitabling much easier, and is almost certainly adding some EV to my hourly rate.
Disclaimer: DJ Sensei does not fully endorse the practice of mass-multitabling. Side effects may include: occasional misclicks, imperfect reads, and sometimes increased tilt. To find out if mass-multitabling is right for you, talk to your DeucesCracked coach!

If you don't really need your mouse or keyboard for anything, try using a gamepad and playing at your couch. I tried tableninja with an old Microsoft sidewinder gamepad which is like a playstation controller. Its definately more ergonomic than mouse and keyboard. You can't write notes but how much notes can you write 20-tabling hyperturbos anyway.
ps. Massmultitabling caused occasional misclicks, imperfect reads and increased tilt to me..

I love TableNinja for SnGs, but I advise strongly against using it for cash-game type environments as you auto-pilot SOOO much more easily. Although it is nice to have a mathematically consistent bet size typed in for every street, you are missing a ton of EV by NOT adjusting your bet size away from that size; the bet size that *best* suits the purpose of the bet.
