mouse vs. hand pain

[Geoffers]

my wacom pen has been 'playing up' recently and after discussing with wacom it is being returned for 'repair or replacement'... it might take a week or more for return...

 

within 3 hours of packing it for posting my rsi is returning from using standard mouse EEEK, EEEEK!

Ever think of trackballs?

I use a MS Trackball Explorer.

When it dies, I think I'll go to this:

i am happy to keep with stylus and tablet; it seems natural to hold a 'stick' and be able to 'wave it round' while for example 'thinking'. But it does not seem natural to twist the hand and hold the fingers constantly in the same position for a long time. I would like to try a radically different sort of mouse as you suggest but must have my stylus back ASAP...

I like the smaller, laptop type, wireless mouse.

I can cover the mouse with my hand, moves easily, responds nicely.

Wireless? You bet, not draggin' a wire around.

 

I use several MS's isn't bad, Logitech's 'bout the same.

 

The field mouse, in the house, loves my GF's mouse even though it's wired

and large. The little guy can have it!

Serious RSI issues here. Been looking at a new mouse, etc & going to a pain management specialist soon for a nerve conduction study.

Question: Anyone have any input or opinions on the "3Dconnexion" "Cad Mouse" and/or their "Space Mouse" ??? or the Combo???

Double posting is frowned upon. Digging up old threads to do it is even more so.
