Ditch the mouse, for some reason, with a Mousetrapper

mouse trapper advance

Sick of using a mouse? No? Well, uh… maybe you should be? I dunno guys, I got nuthin'. This here contraption is all about ditching the mouse for some reason, but I personally enjoy using a mouse. But hey, someone out there has gotta disagree with me on that one.

For both of you there's this Mousetrapper Advance, a wrist rest for your keyboard that has an additional input device built right in. The little roller square and 5 programmable buttons are designed to replace your mouse for ergonomic reasons, but I can't really see how that would be more comfortable than using a mouse. Maybe I'm just biased. You can try it yourself for… $334?! OK, I'm totally not biased.

Well....I use a RollerMouse Pro from Contour Design after getting rid of my old fashioned mosue. The reason a standard mouse is bad for you is you have to move your hand from keyboard 1000 times a day top move the cursor. Secondly you are making small cursor movements ion your monitor using many big muscles in your body. This will eventually make you feel the strain. Some people change when they are forced to others have the foresight to improve working habits while the all all body functions intact. It is a free world !
