If she’s going to order one - make sure it’s from the place I got it from and tell them I referred you.

Cheers for this info Dan. My Mrs has got got pretty bad RSI - from all her PC work, and has had to take a number of weeks off for rest. Whilst it won’t prevent or cure the symptons - it should make life a bit easier for her - especially while she types up my next couple of articles for Yappari!

OK - I’ll rephrase it. I don’t want to develop RSI to the degree that it causes me long-term discomfort or pain - and means that I can’t use a computer for long periods of time.

I try and sit correctly, take breaks, etc. One thing I think I needed to do was change my mouse. Which I have, and I’ll see how it goes.

I had a look around to see what other options I had, as I don’t fancy developing RSI.

you’ve already developed RSI. any mouse will cause you problems simply because of the nature of mouses and the micromovements they cause. the over-rotation of the arm is only one cause, and there’s no way of knowing if it created the pain you were experiencing.

having said all that, it will be better than a normal standard mouse, as these things are designed to cause as much damage to the human body as possible…

My previous mouse had 10 buttons!

But this one having 5 programmable buttons (and the application specific uses) did make it more desirable.

Now honestly, did you buy that for comfort or because it has five buttons?
