after suffering some arm pain about 6 years ago i bought a logitech
wireless trackman optical, like this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-904369-0914-Wireless-TrackMan-Optical/dp/B00006FMH1/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1241030942&sr=1-9
the pain cleared up in a couple of weeks and i've stayed with the
trackball ever since. i use the trackball at work and a mouse at home.
i find that the trackball is a little slower to use than the mouse,
and it took a while to get used to dragging things.
recommended!
