I’ve been having some shoulder problems the past couple of months. Last week, my doctor suggested I try switching to a trackball. I figured I would immediately be having a tendonitis flareup from the repetitive thumb movement, but so far it’s been great for my whole arm. I still keep the mouse on the desk for when I need the fine control but I’m finding myself preferring the trackball for everything but FPS gaming. Maybe I’ll get skillful enough that I won’t need the mouse ever again.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to abandon it for good for the same reason that I wouldn’t want to switch to a DVORAK keyboard layout: the possibility of being completely useless a couple of years down the road when I need to use someone else’s computer that has a different setup.
