They were designed specifically for RSI sufferers - they totally rock - you can leave your hands on the keyboard when mousing! - great for T..

well, I don't know if it was RSI, or carpal tunnel or something else.. but if I hadn't found an alternative input device i could work with, I would have needed to find an alternative job.M'Snah........(aka HansM) wrote: btw it sounds like you have RSI pretty bad, right?

I love my trackball! On the advice of a computer dealer, I moved from a mouse to a trackball many years ago - he even lent me one for a couple of wekks to try out. I never went back to a mouse after that. They do take a bit of getting used to, but once you have, a mouse seems so silly.
I've been using a Logitech Marble FX for the last eight or nine years - no longer made - and I'm astonished the prices these fetch when they appear on eBay and the like. There's one there now - NOS and they want $200 for it. Even so, I'm tempted to buy a spare, because I would feel as though my arm had been cut off if this one ever failed on me.
