Hi,
Can anyone reccommend a good mouse that minimises RSI, I have tried many mice (microsoft, logitech, wired, wireless, trackball etc) but they all give me pain after a while. I'm using a wrist pad and getting physio but I reckon I need something other than a mouse maybe?
Have you tried a pen tablet (eg wacom). My wrist gets a bit tired using a mouse but I find a pen tablet helps. It takes a bit of getting used to but I use one probably 50% of the time now.
Maybe you shouldn't use a mouse at all. Learn the keyboard shortcuts and use a trackpad. What type of work are you doing? I used to get RSI from certain programs and one type of game we used to play at lunchtime in the office. So I stopped playing them, switched to different apps, and the RSI went away. I also would be particular about which mouse I use. I find a accurate mouse (usually gaming misc) much better than the average one that comes with the computer.
Thanks folks for your advice, I now use a 'Genius' tablet and pen which has totally relieved the strain...easy to use, not the most accurate but no pain
