ERGONOMIC MOUSE
To any and all informed Computer users,
Does anyone use an ERGONOMIC MOUSE? If so, which one? I'm using a Logitech 2-button (with scroll wheel) optical mouse. Unfortunately, it gives me hand and wrist ache after a while. I've searched the Net and found the Perfit and Kensington Pro Track-Ball, ergonomic mice. Has anyone used these? Which one(s) is(are) the best for the money? JW |

I use a Microsoft InteliMouse Pro with scroll. I always used Microsoft
mice. I find this one is bigger, higher and more shaped to my hand (right-handed). I have a mouse pad with a wrist rest. What I try to do is not use the mouse when I can. For example, when reading the posts in Outlook Express, I use the spacebar to scroll down the post and the arrow key to change posts. I cut and paste using CTRL-X and CTRL-V with the mouse positioning the target. I forget what other things I do with the keyboard to reduce the mouse usage. I want to learn more of them as it is faster to keep the hands on the keys. "JW" wrote in message ... To any and all informed Computer users, Does anyone use an ERGONOMIC MOUSE? If so, which one?

I've had hand/wrist problems in the past from various causes but using the trackball causes absolutely no strain to me. -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] Return address will not work.

But there is no mention on the Logitech site if it is Ergonomic. Do you find it easy to manipulate the ball with your thumb? Is the Logitech Trackman better than the Kensington Expert Trackball? JW Ergonomic is a ergonomic does (unless you live in one of the countries where the government takes draconian measures to enforce their own standards). I can say that the Logitech trackball is easy to operate with no movement or unnatural flexing required and maneuvering with the thumb seems to be very precise for me. In fact the hand is largely immobile and relaxed as it sits on the casing. I have never used the Kensigton trackball but if their mice are any example, almost anything would have to be better since every one I've worked with has failed in some manner in short order. -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] Return address will not work.

I checked for the mouse you mentioned, but couldn't find just that model. None of the mice I saw look Ergonomic. Using extra paraphernalia (like a wrist rest), just makes things more cumbersome. What I try to do is not use the mouse when I can. For example, when reading the posts in Outlook Express, I use the spacebar to scroll down the post and the arrow key to change posts.

I want to learn more of them as it is faster to keep the hands on the keys. I know what you mean. The keyboard is sometimes faster than the mouse. But for games, you need the mouse. Have you ever used the 3M Joystick mouse? It keeps your hand in the handshake position (like the Quill mouse), while you move the mouse around on some surface. JW |

http://www.evoluent.biz Thanks Ric. I've seen this mouse before. It's like the 3M or Quill mouse. Have you ever used any of these? JW |

I find it to be quite comfortible. Love the resting spot for the thumb. And... no &uck!?@ cord. Nice. |
