It's a very different experience to working with a mouse; the active area on the tablet maps to your entire desktop, so after you're acclimatized, it's almost like the pointer moves in reaction to thought.

- martian 18y agoI had a friend who really hurt his wrists from coding too much, and he switched to a Wacom tablet. It was a little strange to watch him mouse around a webpage with the Wacom pen, but he claims it helped him tremendously. Otherwise, learning the keyboard shortcuts for your favorite programs might go a long way to help you reduce strain. Also, I haven't personally used it, but I like the concept of this mouse, it slides into your laptop's PCI slot (probably not too good for the wrists, though): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000G1D8HU/ref=cm_rdp_product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000G1D8HU/ref=cm_rdp_produ...
