I have two mice connected to my box.
One is a "trackball" the other a regular mouse.
With the trackball you only use your thumb to move the cursor.
It is however less accurate than a regular mouse.
That I use when I need precision.

I do get what is like tendonitis from using the mouse, so I try to use the touch pad as much as possible, and alternate between the two. It helps, as does those mouse pads with the wrist support on them.

I use my mouse with my left hand all the time, usually when I lounge on the couch and read some websites and I'm in a position where it's easier to use my left hand. Takes some getting used to but if you train yourself to use both hands, it becomes easier.

Hope you feel better soon! I have a tennis elbow often, but the strange thing is, my left hand hurts but I use my right hand for my mouse.. But maybe it is because I use ctrl+z a lot with my left hand :hehe

Thanks all!
I feel better now with my hand. But i will be carefull about using the pc-mouse.
I must work less of things that just wasting time. :(
Some things has change for me these days. There is one person i meet on the internet
often. But this guy makes everything bad what you do and thinks he would be the best.
I'm not going to participate in some communitys anymore. GIMPchat is cool, no worry. ;)
I have plans to create pure art in the future.
...and you will see it here! :yes

Don't you dare even thinking about leaving here, you are such a great artist and contributor, we don't want to lose you. Besides that, you are nice. Nice to have you back.
