Title: New computer Mouse. Post by: Longy on October 01, 2010, 03:17:48 AM Any recommendations for a new mouse. I currently have a crappy £5 one from asda because I am an uber nit, but I starting to getting slight pains in my mouse hand, probably the early stages of carpal tunnel.
So think it is worthwhile investment in getting something good and comfy. Prepared to pay any reasonable amount for a good model. Thanks in advance. Title: Re: New computer Mouse.

I got this set a few months ago, the re charageable mosue is fab, only needs a charging once a week and im on the comp a couple of hours most nights. The keyboard looks great too, takes 3 batteries, and I havent replaced them yet since Feb, and on the button counter ive done +500,000 Title: Re: New computer Mouse. Post by: kinboshi on October 01, 2010, 11:15:01 AM I use this one at the moment: http://www.wow-pen.com/new/products/wow_pen_joy.htm - think it cost me about £30. The Evoluent one I was using is still fine, but this one suits my hands better (I have small hands). Can't recommend getting a vertical/hand-shake mouse enough. Really works for me, no pains at all in my arm and if I use a 'normal' mouse I get pains within 15 minutes.

Post by: ACE2M on October 01, 2010, 01:01:24 PM the upright ones are suppoed to be the way forward.
I heard you can set up a PS3 controller to do everything and if you can get used to it it's perfection. Title: Re: New computer Mouse. Post by: Dewi_cool on October 01, 2010, 02:06:41 PM Think Cottonbud put this up before

In Vegas, Constanine Paperestis enjoyed the optical illusion caused by Daniel Phillips small hands as they gave him a vertical hand shake causing Constantine wow pen joy.

Unfortunately, they're out of stock at the moment so I'm seeing if anyone else sells them.

I bought this one from Amazon about six months ago for use with my laptop. It's fairly small but has a nice soft, comfortable feel, even in my fairly large hands. It looks cool too. It's easy to spot with the changing lights. I personally prefer a wired mouse as i was forever dropping my wireless one on the floor. |
