Suggestions for an Ergonomic Mouse?

Posted by Cliff on from the keyboards-aren't-the-only-wrist-enemies-out-there dept.

pawul13 asks: "I've seen lots of articles and suggestions on ergonomic keyboards (and I have the excellent kinesis version, which helps tremendously), but what about mice? I'm currently experiencing a lot of pain, but only in my 'mouse' wrist. I have a semi-ergo Logitech, but it's not doing it. Does anyone have suggestions for the best ergo mouse (Trackball, optical, whatever, it doesn't matter)?" There was a similar question from January, but it may have been too limited.

    And when my Logitec died, I switched to a Microsoft Optical Trackball. The PS2 version is something like $35 at Wally World.

    Despite the fact that I have bad thumbs (several sprains while skateboarding in my youth), using a trackball has never caused fatigue.

    Plus, I find the trackball better for gaming (UT2K4, etc).
