MetkuMods have made couple of tutorials in true DIY spirit that will try to make your life easier. These devices may have started as a joke but trust me, they do work. See the MouseFan and BreezePad."
Well that's the same thing I do, except you have your palm suspended over the mouse(and it doesn't get sweaty that way I suppose) whereas my palm is touching. It's the same amount of wrist movement whether your palm is touching the mouse or whether only your fingers are, for me anyway. I rest my entire palm on the mouse and still only move my wrist around. The original poster said something about using "just [his] fingers so that only [his] wrist has to move around rather than [his] entire arm" As far as I can tell, it would be the same kind of movement, just your palm wouldn't get sweaty. I don't see why resting your palm on the mouse would preclude use of your wrist and force you to move your arm. Maybe I'm just strange and/or dense.
