    Some people don't quite get the hang of being human.  They should go live in trees and fling poo at snakes.

    I've tried using a trackball but just couldn't get the hang of it.  So, I searched for a regular mouse that fits my hand better and once I found it I haven't looked back.  Small mice cramp my hand.  Big mice are better, but can be unconfortable.  Fortunately though, big mice of the right shape work well for me.  I currently, and for the last several years have been using Logitech M510 mice.  Long battery life, good wireless range, comfortable padding, two side buttons plus the normal left & right buttons & middle wheel.  However, carpal tunnel syndrome is a worry, so I also use a wrist pad to elevate my wrist a bit when mousing.

    Once one gets old enough, that's one way to draw attention...

    As a young man, I was working in a facility for elderly people with mental issues. Identified flying objects were spotted at least once a week.

    Well that's good to know though it does make me want to give it fur and a tail ........

    How about a ball-less mouse?

  • Sfariah DSfariah D Posts: 26,537

    I put my earbuds somewhere but now I forgot where I put them.

    ...for Daz work, I use andergonomci trackball instead of a mouse. More accurate and a lot easier on the wrist and hand 

    is that the one with the ball you use with your thumb to navigate? Cause that's what I have but I've just called it a mouse .... but I bought it when I first started using the computer ,cause the regular mouse made me nuts ( more then normal) and I was having issues with carpal tunnel from my job already. anyway whatever  it's called I like it

    I've been using trackballs for years, but when I needed a new one a while back and couldn't find my usual, I thought I'd give the thumb-style ones a try. I couldn't use it for more than a couple minutes because I might have some sort of tendon issue in my thumbs, so I did a little research and found the Elecom Huge Trackball, which I can't recommend highly enough.

    Um... "andergonomici"?  Are you sure the accuracy is all you've claimed?devil  Sounds like the name for a bacteria.surprise  I'm guessing that should have been "an ergonomic"?  

    Yeah, I sat here and was scratching my head wondering WTH that means, then I saw it was a combined word. I thought it was some Greek or Latin word. I took medical terminology in college and it still didn't look right, lol.

    ...yeah sometimes the combination of my arthritis and dyslexia gets the worst of me, particularly when it's late. This is why I didn't get into using Blender utill recently as the current UI is finally pointer based instead of primarily keyboard driven.

    Though one of the previous jobs I had was formatting and proofing medical journal articles after converting them from typesetting tapes to a format that was readable on the screen for setting up medical library CD-ROMs .

    The word "ergonomici" is the Italian plural form of ergonomico (ergonomic).

    Did however make a big batch of my pasta sauce for the week with a Italian sausage garlic onions and crimini mushrooms, some of which I had with rigatoni to which I also added shaved parmesan Romano and asiago cheese for Tuesday night's dinner so that may have caused a brief moment language.channelling.

    I'm so sleepy, but when I get back home, I have a lot to do today it seems.

    I found a swing set but wasn't able to figure out how to get in the swing to use it.  Maybe my legs were too short?

    Non-Complaint:  Wheee... a mini-adventure from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.  A ride to the far corner of the county (71 miles round-trip), lunch at newly remodeled KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken).  Also picked up a weeks supply of their excellent fried chicken breasts for sandwiches, or to mix with potatoes or rice, or simply for munching cold in front of the TV.  Also went to two household sales.  Almost bought something but they wanted more than a dollar for literally an unvarnished, sawed off, crooked tree branch that just happened to be the perfect shape for a walking cane.  Also stopped at WalMart and picked up a case of V8 Juice, some honey and some "Honeycrisp" apples.  Yum...smiley
