Ergonomic Mice

[enjay]

Any recommendations for ergonomic mice? Needs to be left-handed, by the way. One of the teachers here is suffering what their doctor thinks is mouse-related RSI...

It looks horrible (designed for teenage gamers) and will probably be expensive but it's the most customisable mouse I've heard of - look for Cyborg R.A.T 7 Gaming Mouse

 

Other gaming mice will be adjustable as well if not to the same extent.

Wow, that's an ugly mouse! Looks like a Transformer :-)

Oh. My. God.

I love it and want one immediately.

look at vertical mice, there is no twisting of the wrist to use these.

These guys don some specialist pointing devices.

Trackball + squeezy hand thing + 10 press-ups a day.

I'll tell them about the first two, but I'm not about to tell the Asst Head to do press-ups :-)

Thanks!

I too suffer from this so will give those a try

I can't stand them but the three members of admin who use them wont be parted from them now.

I've been using the Logitech Marble Mouse for years and it stopped my achey wrist. I'm right handed but I use it with the left; this is what the doctor told me to do. Your dominant hand gets overworked and if you use the non-dominant hand, it gives the other one a rest. It feels a bit odd at first, but you soon get used to it. Also, use keyboard shortcuts; it's much quicker and better for the wrist.

Trackball is the way to go - I try to use my Wacom tablet as much as possible to.
