Years ago I started getting some minor wrist pain, so I switched to a trackball instead of a mouse (this one: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Trackman-Wheel-Optical-Silver/dp/B00005NIMJ I don't know why it's so expensive on Amazon, they're only about $35 in stores.) Took a couple days to get used to it, and a couple weeks for it to feel 100% natural and be 100% proficient, but it's been well worth it: I love it and haven't had any wrist pain since. (And spinning the wheel's just damn fun :) ) At an old job I had, I bought another of those trackballs to use at work. Anytime anyone tried to lean over and do anything on my computer they compained about "How can you use this thing?" :) The real interesting thing though, is that they *always* reached straight for the trackball *despite* the fact that I also had a mouse plugged in, sitting right out in plain view.
