help with Carpal Tunnel - alternative to mouse
I work on a computer all day and doesn't seem to take long playing games that my wrist gets sore. Is this just the nature of the beast or should I look at different type of game pad/controller than the marble mouse that I am currently using.
Oh my gaming habits are usually Monday - Friday for about 45 minutes a day, and sometimes an hour or two on Saturday. Thanks |

Re: help with Carpal Tunnel - alternative to mouse
Hey dude,
sorry your wrist gets sore, but I am sure that a bit of an upscale store can get you a decent mouse with a wristpad. Don't forget to weasle one out of your boss for use at work too! |

How about a track ball, That reduces wrist movement. I use one all the time and love it.
BTW I recommend the logitech Trackman. It has the ball on the left side so that your thumb uses it not your fingers. |

Re: help with Carpal Tunnel - alternative to mouse
There are ergonomical mouse/keyboard pads that can be had for relatively cheap that have a pad on the bottom side to rest your wrist on to promote proper wrist location. Some of them are rather nice.
