Turning Your Mouse Upside Down

avatar image

Is your mouse giving you grief from too many hours spent pointing, clicking, and dragging your way across a desktop? If you’re a mental health practitioner working extensively with clients online, you probably cannot avoid the pointing, clicking, or dragging — but you can avoid the mouse. Just turn it upside down, cut off the cord, and call it a trackball instead. Or, like Kensington, call it the Expert Mouse Wireless.

We’ve just published a review of the Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless in our Practice Building section. If you spend a great deal of time in front of a computer and experience discomfort or even a repetitive stress injury as a result of moving your whole arm around with a mouse attached, the Expert Mouse may provide some relief that no ordinary mouse can. Despite the name, the Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless isn’t a mouse at all, but a trackball — and it looks like one of the best.
