The rubber bits started kind of decaying and getting gross and sticky so its in a box Currently bouncing between a logitech MX Master and a Large Trackball

I’ve been using a CoStar Stingray 2.0 trackball from the early 1990s on my main system at home lately, it’s been pretty nice wish I could use the second button for a contextual menu though, both buttons register by default as the main button and changing that will be very difficult (distinguishing the buttons requires sending an ADB command to the trackball, which means figuring out how to talk directly to the ADB-USB adapter) eschaton fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Aug 19, 2021 |

basic microsoft wireless mouse is real decent good for regular mousing and symmetrical so also works easily in left hand when necessary for practicing ambidexterity

vertical mouse doesn’t have enough buttons. minimizing stretching your fingers for keybosrd shortcuts goes a long way to reducing strain. g604 is probably as good as it gets for me. lots of buttons and its wireless. no pinky rest and not that ergonomic though. not as good as g700

I've mentioned it a few times but if you're having mouse-related wrist/arm pain, the fix it to use different input devices during the day - use device A for an hour, then B, then switch back, rinse & repeat. I have not found vertical mice to be differently shaped enough to make a difference. What I DID have success with was using either a trackball as noted previously or a little wacom tablet which are surprisingly cheap these days, like $70.
