Has anyone used this mouse? (for people that use the pc a lot)?

Question

I was wondering if anyone has used a joystick as a mouse, like this one

I had a regular mouse at work for quite a while, and my hand started aching, especially the top of my hand, pretty much every muscle. So our HR dept ordered me a vertical mouse, which is really nice, its called Evoluent, and it did take away the pain from the top of my hand, but now that my hand sits on the side, my pinky and the side of my hand ache after a while. So i was wondering if anyone had the same issue or if you have used a joystick type mouse, and if you notice a difference in using it?

Answer 1

nope

Answer 2

Ive used one similar for gaming. Maybe you need the Ballmouse. Thats the one that you dont have to move around and you just turn the ball the way you want the pointed to go. Try finding one and give it a try.

Big poppa has the right idea; my friend has MS and uses a 'ball track' type mouse and it's just dandy; reduces cramps, and other benefits.

You may have to adjust the pointer precision and/or the speed (find these in ''control panel' > 'mouse' sections), but stick with it & good luck.
