Or any other pointing device as the track-ball, optical pen, touch-pad, or whatever else? I've some troubles on my wrist and helbow, so using the mouse gives me a lot of discomfort, sometimes pains, or numbness of my hand and sometimes even shoulder. I asked some advices to a postural physician, who studied my case and answered that just surgical resolution of my wrist problem can be resolutive. The fact is that I don't like operations.

Sometimes I get an odd feeling using a mouse. But it happens very rarely. Usually some pain relievers corrects it. If not, just having my wrist and hand in ice can help out.

I feel comfortable with the mouse rather than using the keyboard keys. The keyboard keys I cannot remember all the time. So Most of the time, I use the mouse and it is easy and comfortable for me.

I don't have problems with my mouse, I just bought a new mouse because my old mouse wasn't working that good anymore. I also hate surgeries. I don't want my body to be opened but sometimes we cannot avoid such situation. Especially me, I'm a woman maybe when I give birth to my future baby, they will do a ceasarian section for me, and of course I will have any choice but to undergo that kind of operation even if I don't want to.
