Has anyone ever tried one of these Optical Pen Mice (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826109004&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Mouse-_-Ezonics-_-26109004) things. They look cool and seem like they might work well.
I got a Evoluent Vertial mouse last year. Works great and helped out my wrist. My bigger problem is my pointer finger. To many left clicks these days. Anyone have any ides or advice.
Thanks in advance.

Dave,
I've used a Wacom pen tablet for years and hate to use a mouse anymore. I do have a mouse set up at my station just in case someone else needs to do something. My hands used to hurt really bad and I think that changing to the pen has been the most effective at reducing that strain. Plus, if you do any photo editing at all, the pen is the way to go. I started with the bare bones model. That has been moved to home and at the office I use an Intuos tablet. The smaller tablets have been all I've ever needed. You'll learn to type with the pen in the space between your thumb and forefinger and you'll lose track of the pen every now and to too. Two thumbs up!
Regards,
Mario
