My hand hurts. Like many of us I spend all day working on computers then I come home from work and spend more time on a computer. Usually playing games like World of Warcraft. I am considering this: http://www.thehumansolution.com/pad.html but the problem is the company that makes them is out of business and the prices of the remaining stock are up to $200 each! Has anyone used one? Has anyone tried the foot pedal mouse buttons: http://www.alimed.com/ProductDetail.asp?catalog=2&amp;CategoryID=219&amp;FamilySKU=79103 ? What else has helped people with problems caused by clicking the mouse? <br> <br> I've already tried using software to re-map mouse clicks to keyboard keys. For some uses it works very well but not for gaming. Also, now my left hand hurts a bit from using CTRL and ALT as left and right mouse buttons causing me to hold my left hand in a different position than when I type. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.25285 Mon, 10 Oct 2005 11:18:33 -0800 ergo mouse repetitivestressinjury RSI trackpad J-Garr
