There is no argument paying so much money on a peace of electronized plastic!

Keep your periphery as redundant an therefore robust as possible. Thats the true science of the next generation in times of climate change and ecological abusement.

Choose a cable mouse for 20 Bucks, that will fit ergonomically your needs.

  • Green eco footprint because less electronics compared to wireless mouses.
    You know how much water is spend on a simple peace of silizium-chip?)

  • cheaper investment, less emotional stress when you have to exchange or buy a new one

  • no trouble with extra drivers

Cable mouses are more reliable/secure because:
- no ultra-short but annoying waiting lags for radio transitions
- no annoying lags because of wake-up time from bluetooth sleep modes
- no trouble with recharging batteries, because there are no batteries at all
- less vulnerable because you can keep bluetooth turned off

Dont believe the hype!

I can’t believe what I learned from this. I especially like the tip on using the scroll wheel to click on a link and open a page in a new tab in your browser.

Thanks for this great post!

They tend to have higher sensitivity, and so you move you wrist less, and therefore, less wrist strain at the end of the day. Many gaming mice also have additional buttons that can be hotkeyed to frequently used functions: forward and back, open new tab, etc.

I use a Razer Lachesis, but that’s a little excessive for some people and is in fact impossible for my family to use due to it’s incredible touchiness. A Razer Diamondback is a good entry-level gaming mouse

I’ve been using one for over 20 years and find I can be more precise and versatile than with any mouse, and I’ve had plenty of those, too.

With a trackball, bigger is better. The larger the ball, the more precision you can have and the faster you can navigate. Currently, I’m using a CH products DT225 model with four programmable buttons. It also has a set of DIP switches on the bottom that can be set for even more complex functions. After two years of daily use, it’s as tight and precise as the day it was new. The ball is about the size of a tennis ball. I’d like one even larger but this does work very well.

Kingsington also makes a nice trackball and I have had good experiences with them, too.

I much prefer the track pad on my Macbook to any mouse ever and would buy an external for my desktop if I could find one. Two fingers is scroll up and down, three fingers is end and home scroll and two finger tap is right click (used for browser back). Simplicity is beautiful.

Too bad Apple took Fingerworks out of the game by shutting them down & putting all their technology into the iPhone. I’m hoping Apple will start shipping gesturing keyboards too.
