Alan,
Though I do not use a wrist rest, I do prevent my wrist from bending as
Gary wrote about. I enjoy Logitech's MX1000. My brother has CTS and
also uses a trackball. He will not use a mouse. One thing to note is
that my brother had surgery done and now highly recommends avoiding it
if at all possible.
I also second Gary's feelings in hoping your carpal tunnel syndrome goes
away and permanently.
Cheers!
Drew

Alan,
I've been a mouse jockey now for a little under eighteen years. Almost
all of that has been manual routing, eight hours a day, seven days a
week etc.
A few years after I started, I felt like I was starting to get carpal
tunnel. I knew I had to avoid it, so I figured out that my technique
was not ergonomically correct! I got a wrist rest, set up my desk and
chair to keep my forearm at the correct height to not have a bend in my
wrist etc. The feeling of carpal tunnel started to go away and has
never come back! Sometimes during especially intense work (routing like
a mad dog!), my wrist starts to hurt a bit, so I just stop and move it
around and massage it.
I really think the mouse you use will make a difference, since we spend
many hours a day using it. I have come to the conclusion that the
Logitech hand specific mouse is the best for lots of mouse work. I use
a right handed MX510 and it keeps the hand in the correct position and
is very easy to grab and has great button/click action.
Gook luck either way, staying with the trackball or back to a mouse,
hope the carpal tunnel goes away!

I've recently moved to a Logitech Marble Trackball mouse due to carpal
tunnel. I'd like to know if anyone has a good example of a dedicated
lefthand trackball mouse.
I find trackball mice helps greatly with the carpal tunnel.
Any other thoughts on mice to assist with carpal tunnel would be
welcome.
And no I don't use strokes in Allegro.
Had to mention Allegro once in the e-mail ...:-)

In a previous life, I was doing schematic entry in
Mentor and learned the "strokes"!
Wow they were just great. Once you get used to them they
are very powerful.
When I started up on Cadence I found they had only a few
strokes and most of them
didn't work well so I went back to using function keys
for the basic things. Of course
it doesn't help much that Cadence follows the Select a
process then select the thing the
process is to affect. Whereas Mentor you select the
item, then tell it what process you want to
use.
One of these days I will train my Cadence tool how to
use strokes better but as a librarian
there are only a few basic things I need now.

I've seen those strokes performed by Mentor users, and
it works really fast. Some of them look like ninja's just stroking their
mouse.

LOL... the Mentor people think "strokes" are the best
thing since sliced bread.
Give me configurable keyboard control anyday.

env variable, "unset no_dynamic_zoom"
why on earth it's even an option? about as much
use as strokes.

Hey guys,
I'm not sure what's going on with my mouse, or
if it's even a result of upgrading to 15.5.
Before, while on 15.2, clicking the middle mouse
button would continue zooming in if I had just zoomed in.
If I had just zoomed out, the middle mouse
button would continue the zooming out when clicked.
Now, clicking the middle mouse button zooms me
in, whether I just zoomed out or in.
Not a big deal, but anyone have any clues as to
where this is set?
Thanks!
