My wrist hurts due to repetitive stress from mousing. God that's lame.

I feel like a cyborg without any of the potential benefits of being one… Like not getting injured from mousing, for one.

Humans aren't meant for this shit...

You spend all this time trying to work with technology and this is how it repays you? Man... Analog would never do you like that.

I think vertical mice are wonderful.


This isn't the only one, but it is the first that comes up on Google:

Yeah, I bought one of these last week. A friend recommended it.
We'll see!
Thanks for the recommendation though.

Yo Jerry!
Man, I've thought about that actually.
Do you use the Wacom for Music Apps?

hi ben

yes, use it for everything although I have to use the mouse for certain things in Appleton Live.


I've been editing with them for 12 years - trying to maximize income with minimal physical movement.

I tried this last week and it almost drove me fucking insane.
I'm not used to feeling like a 3rd grader on a computer.

I was getting the same thing. i got trackball from kensington (the big one) and it helped a lot. I mean, there's still some strain after a while but it's in a different place in the wrist.


best thing is to probably use a different mouse every month or something.


good luck with that and hope this doesn't mean less music from you.

I've recently been diagnosed with osteo-arthritis in my left thumb... but that's probably from Videogaming.


I mouse with the right hand, even though i'm left handed for just about everything else.


Skynet may save us someday, until then i suppose we should probably find more ergonomically designed devices.
My mouse that i have now is really comfortable actually, it's a IBM travel mouse that is about 1/2 the ..size.. of a normal mouse, allows it to sit in my hand pretty comfortably.


Eye-tracking, Neural-Networked GUI's would be best though.
Get to work!

Hey Yalls,

So after a bit of wrest, a wrist brace for a while, and twice having the juice sucked out of my cyst, I'm glad to say it's a lot better. Basically back to normal.


This little thingee helps a shit ton. I recommend it to anyone with wrist problem. SERIOUSLY. Get it.
