Best mouse?

[Adam Taylor]

forget mice….get yourself a wacom Intuos3 widescreen tablet. Its so much more comfortable, and it actually speeds up your working and helps reduce RSI.

Since i got mine, i hate using mice!

I too agree. go with the wacom intuos. I switched 2 and a half years ago and haven’t looked back since. I’ve even perfected my typing while holding the pen.

Or use a combination of all…

I’ve got an Intuos tablet, and of course i use the stylus when I need that gestural style. After some urging, I eventually tried a “trackball” mouse… makes a big difference in speed and all that “scrubbing” goes AWAY. So, no more going off the edge of the mat, especially dealing with a widescreen/ two-screen interface.

I’ve always been a fan of Kensington’s Expert mouse range:

This really has me interested in a tablet cuz I am starting to hate the mouse as much as it hurts my wrist.

How does the pen emulate all of the mouse buttons? Does this work in any program?

checkout the wacom site…https://www.wacom-europe.com/int/products/intuos/tablets.asp?lang=en&pdx=35

This is the one i use, and i probably don’t use a fraction of its full functionality.
You have eight programmable keys and two slider strips (for zooms etc) on the tablet itself, two click buttons on the pen, both ends of the pen are pressure sensitive. You can set the tablet to automatically recognise different apps and have different functions specific to the app.

I can’t praise it enough, and my wrist has not ached since i got it (except for when i have to use the mouse on my second mac – but i’m seeking a suitable kvm switch to sort out that problem!)
