    Care to be more specific? For gaming mouse is better perhaps, but for everything else I see no reason to wave your arm around like a baboon. Spend a few months with a good trackball and you will feel like an absolute ape using a mouse.

      Wave your arm around like a baboon? I move my whole mouse like, an inch square at that. I do CAD work daily, and also game. High sensitivity mouse master race…

      Then again, I also don’t have my mouse on the right hand side of my computer with the buttons facing toward the back of the desk. I sit with my right arm across and my mouse ‘horizontal’ so to speak. Left arm extended fully, right arm at a 90 degree pulled in and under the keyboard.

      I’m 40 and have been gaming, computing for more hours than people are typically awake during the day, since I was like 6. I have no RSI, no mouse-related strain at all…

        Exaggerating of course, but mouse / wrist movements are more coarse than the subtle thumb movements of a trackball and it’s a noticeable transition.
