Post and discuss your recommendations for workstation flare
What I'm most interested in is a solid mouse or trackball. I've used some absolutely shitty mouses over the past few years and it was no big deal, since I was only at my desk, doing a lot of clicking, for a few hours each week (and most of that was TWW). Now, it looks like I'm going to be having some weeks where I spend a majority of it with some heavy mouse work, I figure a good solid mouse/trackball will be well worth the money. Any recommendations? Any arguments for mouse vs. trackball? Anybody out there that uses more than the standard mouse (left and right click, wheel+ its click) buttons on a regular basis? 10/28/2015 10:02:12 PM |

Lol NOTED!!! I had already looked at them a little online. Just because I know nothing about ergo - Trackballs are generally easier on the wrists right? I just know I have a ton of left to right movement, no pain yet but I could see how it's gonna wear overtime 10/29/2015 10:39:33 AM |

Anyone ever try these vertical mice? http://evoluent.com/ 10/29/2015 3:08:25 PM |

Yes, with the trackball there is no movement of the wrist, and if you're feeling sharpness now, then do yourself a favor and start using a trackball for general use, especially if you work all day at a computer. Best decision I ever made ~6 years ago. No wrist pain.
I save all my mice-usage for FPS gaming, still can't get comfortable trackballing an FPS. 10/29/2015 4:17:34 PM |

That vertical mouse looks interesting as hell.
Also good suggestion on upping the sensitivity of the mouse. I tried it some today, and it'll take some getting used to, it was def way less movement 10/29/2015 9:36:59 PM |

i've been using logitech trackballs since the late 90's, even for FPS gaming (flicking your thumb > moving a mouse )
my current one is the M570 http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-910-001799-M570-Wireless-Trackball/dp/B0043T7FXE 10/29/2015 10:20:42 PM |

I bought an Evoluent mouse about 6 years ago when I started having ct issues.
I do a lot of web/graphic design and I recall not liking it that much.
When I switched to a Mac, I stopped using it and forgot I had it.
I wonder if I still have it. 10/30/2015 1:28:18 PM |

I have a new, but out of box, M570 if someone wants to buy it. I used a finger trackball for years and this thumb shit is for the birds. 10/30/2015 1:41:46 PM |
