[AccessD] Avoiding Hand Problems (was: Dual monitor laptop)

Try the one with the ball under the thumb instead of in the middle.  That's
what I use and I get all the precision I need.  You can also of course, set
the precision like any mouse so that the mouse doesn't move as far when you
move the ball.

Hi John,

I've tried trackballs in the past, but I just couldn't get that to work even
close to as well as I could with a basic mouse.  They sure look intriguing,
I just couldn't use it.

Thanks!
Dan

How about a trackball?
 
I use these exclusively. Have been for years at home, but just about 6 mos.
in the office...I was having problems w/my right wrist, so I got a
trackball...problems gone! I like the logitech marble mouse, because its
design fits up into my palm, and it is very comfortable.
 
I had a tiny learning curve w/it, and I took to it very fast. I believe I
was playing Mah Jongg back when I first got it, and I just used that game
for practice. Now it is very natural.

The three things that help me the most are: 

    a lightweight mouse (wired MS 3000 Optical), 

    a gamer's mousepad - very low friction (cut down to reasonable size), 

    and a split keyboard (MS 4000).  

Before these I used to get sore wrists, but that's gone now!
