My needs are pretty simple really; nothing too specialized or out of the ordinary. But like many of you, I use a mouse for hours at a time. Whether it was a standard mouse, one with a scroll wheel or any variety of trackball I always got a sore arm or shoulder after awhile. Over time the problem became acute. Until I got a 3M Ergonomic Mouse. It&#8217;s been more than ten years now and no matter how many hours I use it, I never experience any fatigue or discomfort at all. <\/p>\n<p>It looks like a joystick and that is why it takes care of the problem: your hand stays in &#8220;handshake&#8221; position instead of laying flat. Your thumb works the rocker button on top of the stick. It rocks left and right like a regular mouse. There is also a side button that scrolls with Windows computers but doesn&#8217;t seem to work on Macs. You can move it around a mouse pad with ease. They are quite durable. I&#8217;m still using the one I bought in 2007. Once about five years ago I knocked it on the floor and the top stick part separated from the base. I glued it back together with Duco cement and that was that. They come in large and small. I use the large. Now they make wireless models. I&#8217;d get one of those but the one I have would have to break first and I doubt it ever will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comfortable cursor control<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28921"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28921"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28921\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28924,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28921\/revisions\/28924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
