If you have a "knot" type pain in your shoulder blade area on the same side of your body as your mouse hand, I cannot strongly recommend a track ball mouse like this enough:

I had a continual knot and painful spot in my shoulder blade from age 16 (when I started using a computer regularly) until age 35 when I tried the trackball mouse.
Within a month or so of switching, the achey spot was entirely gone. I started a new job and used their mouse, and the pain came back. I brought in my mouse and it went away. Also, trackballs are faster once you get used to them.
- hopeless 15y agoSeconded. I've used that model and its predecessor for about 10yrs. Because my forearm and wrist remain stationary, I found I don't get any RSI like pains and I don't rub my wrist off the edge of the desk which was irritating the metal plates in my arm.
- argarg 15y agoSame problem, same solution here. The magic mouse is the worse I used for my wrist. After 2-3 month I had regular pain in the wrist. Brought that same mouse you linked to I had at home and it disappeared a couple days after.
