I relearned typing to save my wrists
- emrah 5y agoSwitching to a trackball saved my wrist. It took about a week to get as good with it as I was with a mouse
- jleyank 5y agoI had to switch mouse-hand twice. Long ago when I had my first hand injury from probably mousing (glommed on too hard), then again when I had my second. Our software would have a staggering amount of chording with a trackpad, unfortunately, and trackballs always got in the way for me. The key thing with the wrists have been to always use a wrist pad and to make sure my keyboard was a little taller than the wrist pad. Bending the wrists upwards when typing was a no-no, and those pretty yet damnably thin Apple keypads were the worse for pain.
