Comments on: The cure for 'mouse arm': Gyroscopic mice

Do you suffer from hand and arm pain while mousing?

I used this mouse and it wasn't so fast or easy to use... sorry boys

I have used a Gyration mouse for over three years and I just replaced it with a new model. There is no way I would go back to a 'normal' mouse. With the Gyroscopic mouse I can sit back on my chair or couch and relax with my hands on my lap while I use the Gyration mouse. My learning curve took about 15 minutes and I am in my 50's. The trick is to lay your wrist on your lap rather than hang you arm in the air while using the mouse. You will love this mouse!

i have the cure for your "mouse arm"... it's called a TRACKBALL!
i don't know why so many people prefer to use a mouse rather than a trackball.
it's insane.

Trackballs are junk. I used a trackball once thinking it would save my wrist from getting CTS, but all it did was screw up my thumb. Now in the cold or morning, my thumb locks up and it pops when I move it. Worker's Comp'd it and they confirmed it was the trackball as the Docs had seen it before. Coworker used another trackball and had similar problems after a few weeks of using it. I'd never use a trackball again and regret ever using one.

get some exercise you losers and you wont have this many health problems.
Anyone who would spend more than $30 on a keyboard and mouse combo has too much money laying around. And after a month you will complain that your $500 computer is to slow...
