I've been using a mouse since 1988...8 to 12 hours a day, usually more than
5 days a week. Tried a trackball for a couple of months in '98. It made my
wrist hurt so I went back to my mouse. To each their own, everyone is
different.

Too true. I went to a trackball for a bad shoulder. Too much cutting line
and pounding stakes when I was in the field.
I personally only like the type of trackball that is operate by rolling the
ball with the index and middle finger. 2 buttons on either side plus a
scroll wheel on the left operated by the thumb. I don't like the center
balls with the buttons in front or the "thumbies".
Have a Happy

Yup to all: To each his own.. My MS Optical track ball is relaible, fast and my thumb is trained. My forearm and wrist never move from the chair arm. Very little thumb effort required to move anywhere on screen......besides, on my littered work area there's no place to put a "mouse operating area"!

your office sounds like mine :) My Logitech mouse will move the cursor from
one side to the other on my 24" Sony monitor with about 3" of sideways
movement so I just cleared out a 4" square hole in my clutter ;)

I have been using a Cordless Trackman Wheel, by Logitech for several years. It eats
one battery a month, and that is my only criticism of it, other than I have to
operate it since it doesn't know what to do.
It is a thumb wheel of good size, with the smooth wheel between the left and right
buttons. It is only a two button with a wheel. That is ok since I am only capable
of thinking fast enough to use two buttons. Any more would confuse me.

I like the Microsoft Trackball Optical. The ball is thumb operated, and has
3 button ccapability with scroll button as MB. Also nice on internet with
forward and back buttons. Runs on USB although I am highly prejudiced to
PS2.
