Windows 7 Trackball mice

[Ralph Bromley]

Despite some recent financial woes I had to re enter the mouse market this last week due to the pain caused by my old computer mouse.
I had a Logitech Wireless Mouse M310 and its small size was really hard on my hands causing severe cramping in my fingers and wrist.
(it came with the keyboard, a Logitech MK520 mouse/keyboard combo set)
I heard Trackball mice were better for you if you experience pains in the fingers or wrists when using a mouse so I now own one.
I have to say it works pretty well for my issue, my wrist and fingers on my right side are now feeling better after my hands leave contact with the mouse.
Its a Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 and while it will take time getting used to and the ball to get broken in I say its a very good mouse all things considered.
I will say it is very weird to work with at first but after some time it does get better after playing around with it.
I am sure there are some trackball users that might give me feedback here

It's great to hear that you found a solution to your mouse-related discomfort by switching to a Logitech Wireless Trackball M570. Trackball mice can indeed be a good alternative for those experiencing pain in their fingers or wrists when using a traditional mouse. Adjusting to a trackball mouse can take some time, as you mentioned, but many users find them comfortable and ergonomic once they get used to them. Here are a few benefits of using a trackball mouse: 1. Ergonomics: Trackball mice can reduce strain on your wrist and arm muscles since you don't need to move the entire mouse around. This can be especially helpful if you suffer from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. 2. Precision: Some users find that trackball mice offer better precision compared to traditional mice, particularly for tasks that require fine control. 3. Space Saving: Trackball mice don't need as much space to operate since they stay in one place on your desk. If you have any specific questions or need tips on using your new trackball mouse, feel free to ask. It's always helpful to hear feedback from other trackball users to exchange experiences and tips for getting the most out of your device.
