a new MOUSE, fatter on the side? | Arthritis Information
Hi ALL, I'm looking for a new Mouse for my computer (isn't that a funny name for 'it'?), My little finger on my R hand hangs down over the edge and after awhile it begins to hurt. Does anyone know of a better, fatter, more comfortable MOUSE? Thanks for so many helpful hints!

Try the Logtech Cordless Click Plus. I do web design and my hands die after an hour or so. It fits into your hand and has buttons on the top and sides that allow you to control the mouse without much effort on your part. The only movement you need in a tiny push on the finger pads or thumb.
I go through about 4 moussies a year and this one I actually have purchased a couple of 'spares' in case that decide to change the bugger.
My vote also goes to Logitech (optical wireless with a scrollwheel). I've used
one for years and it's almost effortless---very easy on my wrist and
fingers,doesn't need a pad, and batteries last for months.

I used that Marble Mouse (bad name as it's really a trackball) for years and loved it. I eventually had a problem in my wrist but then again I am on the computer 8-14hrs daily. So when they came out with the cordless trackball's I bought this one:

It took some adjusting but it's more mouse like and because it's cordless it is much easier to move around to a different position or out of the way. And batteries easily last 3-4 months per set. It uses just regular batteries but I bought some Lithium Ion batteries to make life a bit easier.
I also like the feel of the
Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Mouse. Nice solid weight and it fills my hand nicely. I have kinda short fingers but a larger palm so the only thing harder then finding the right mouse is finding gloves. I know it is expensive but it really is the best feeling mouse for my hands I have tried. But I don't like regular mice and prefer a trackball.
My suggestion whenever anyone asks me about mice options is to head over to Office Depot or Staples or any bigbox-type computer store like Fry's and try ALL the mice as they usually have at least 20 mice or trackball devices setup where you can see how they feel.
BreckLundin39186.812962963I have a lovely roller ball mouse (with a huge roller ball about the size of a ping pong ball) I sometimes use it when my hands are acting up. It's higher than a normal mouse and moulded up to fit the hand, so I can actually rest my whole hand on it - and every finger is in the correct position for a click or a roll!!
All it has on it as to make - it says "DIGITAL EDGE" on the top, and underneath Model HTB021 CE
I actually had it given to me by a relative in England. I have to say I haven't used it that often, but when I do, it's been very comfortable
to use. Just takes a bit of getting used to the ball - but I guess if I was using it all the time, it would "all Click" into place.
Take Care
Yes, a huge roller ball would protect my R little finger. It somehow, stresses when I use the mouse! I have a neat Microsoft Wireless Optical 2.0, but my finger hangs down over the edge? I'll look into Digital edge. thanks,

OMG I am addicted to Frys and i HATE with a passion going into computer stores lol
