In prase of the ergonomic, wireless mouse!

[Pursegrrl]

Hey all, I upgraded my ancient mouse to an ergonomic, wireless model today and WOW, why did I wait so long??

Check it out at http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=086&active_tab=overview. It took 5 minutes to install the software and get it and the receiver "introduced." Love it!!

Oh geez I meant in PRAISE of the ergonomic mouse...sheesh I guess we can't edit thread titles, LOL.

I couldn't agree more!! I've had to go "Ergo" a few years ago after major major Carpal Tunnel problems. Two surgeries later, and I'm better, but won't dare touch a normal keyboard or mouse.

I find the trackball is much easier and faster to navigate!
Here's my ergo:

Wireless is the best, you can hook up your pc to one of those big tv screens and do your surfing from the couch!

We've had Logitech for years and love them. A mouse seems hard after getting used to the ball style.

I've been counting down until the release of the new Humanscale mouse at the end of June...I have an older model and it is the absolute BEST in ergonomic support. Other mice I've used (including $150+ "ergonomic" ones) never fixed my problem of moving the mice with my hands and wrists; this is the only one that forces me to use my shoulder and arm to drive the mouse, which is what reduces the chance of carpel tunnel. I can't wait to get the new mouse!
