I got bad RSI from heavy use of the scroll wheel and now I'm weaning myself off, the condition has almost vanished. Using the mouse purely for shove'n click and doing all scrolling with the other hand on arrow and PgUp/Dn keys drastically evens up the load between my hands, but I admit that this probably works best for us left- handers. I wish it was still possible to find a 3-button mouse with no scroll- wheel capability. Preferably optical, but I know that is asking for the moon. OTOH, if I open up the mouse and carefully apply epoxy or Zap to the mouse wheel's axle.... -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

From: Christian on 26 Apr 2010 04:23 I have made good experience with a click pressure point keyboard for typing. The mechanical clicking gives good confirmation when you hit the key and in my impression is that it allows for higer typespeed with lower typo rate. So currently I am using a Cherry G80-3000 and I am really happy with it.

Putting the mouse on the left balances the load better. What's the trick: I don't understand the question. -- Lew
