Vertical Ergonomic Devices for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the saving-your-wrists dept.

NonNullSet asks: "I am having trouble finding a truly programmable mouse for Linux. I'm a longtime (read older) computer user and have to use an ergonomic mouse (http://www.evoluent.biz) to work on Windows. I would like to find something similar (vertical shape, if possible, programmable buttons) for Linux, but haven't had any luck. Have any Slashdot readers been successful at finding/using programmable ergonomic hardware on Linux? Vertical shape plus click and hold would be excellent!"

    Programmable ergonomic hardware on Linux with a vertical shape and click and hold?
    Sure! Tape the keyboard to your monitor and use vi.

    Mod all vi jokes as Funny unless you're an emacs user, then mod them as Flamebait.

  2. Guys, a few questions... by identity0 · · Score: 3, Funny

    How could you get 'Vertical' spelled right in the submission, but mess it up in the headline?! Did the submitter misspell it, or did the editors? And finally... did no one who was a subscriber notice, too?

    Sheesh... 'Verticle', indeed...
