  46. Best. Mouse. Ever! by Chris+Tucker · · Score: 1 · on Is Horse the New Mouse?

    I have been using one of these for well over a year.

    Coupled with USB Overdrive (Sorry, Mac only!) this is the best mouse I've ever used. Good luck finding one in North America, though.

    I keep my hand straight and rest my arm on the desktop. The mousepad I use raises the mouse just enough so that I can rest my wrist on the pad and move the mouse with my fingers and a minimum of wrist/arm movement.

    I've rotated the pad 90 degrees, so that the "top" is now one of the "sides". This give me more than enough room to move the mouse and still have sufficient area for resting my wrist on the pad. YMMV.

    Not only is it a functionally superior mouse, it's also bloody gorgeous, too. A beautiful little piece of abstract sculpture on my desktop.

    I can, and have, used it for hours at a time with no distress whatsoever.

    Good point about air-travel. I used to always carry a Swiss-Army knife with me (more compact), but can't unless I'm checking now.

    OTOH, ThinkGeek has this little toy. I guess that will get through most security checks on a bunch of keys.

  49. Depends on the job... by OneFix · · Score: 1 · on Best Leatherman-Style Multitool?

    Do the tools wiggle around after a lot of use?
    Not if you buy from a company that has been making good knives for a long time...

    Victorinox is probably the right company to stay with...They are one of only 2 companies that make genuine swiss army knives (Wenger is the other)...They have a good selection of tools...their Spirit is a good choice for a general multitool...

    I personally own a CyberTool (according to Victorinox, official equipment for NASA space shuttle crews)...but I carry a Signature....

    The real answer is to pick the right tool for the job...if you want something you plan to carry with you all the time, go for one of the pocket tools...if you are going to be doing lots of computer work with it, you may want to go with the CyberTool...if you want something to stick in a backpack, then a multitool is probably a good choice...but remember to choose a tool from someone that's been doing high quality knives for a long time...
