Microsoft Launches New Surface Arc Mouse
-
Microsoft has with little fanfare released their new Surface Arc Mouse, which is pretty sleek looking.
-
but probably sucks like the last one did
. I had one and while it worked it was great. Had to do like 4 warranty replacements before I gave up on them. -
I tried the first one. It doesn't fit my hand or style of mousing.
-
I always thought that Lenovo mouse/laser pointer was awesome. I can't believe someone didn't steal that design.

As a longtime trackball user, mice really kinda suck.

@travisdh1 I don't believe you.

Accuracy and speed like no other. I used a trackball as the first pointing device on the home computer in my teens and never wanted to go back.

A lady in HR has this very same model of trackball -minus the wrist pad. Claims its for her carpel tunnel. Something like this would have been more beneficial for carpel tunnel.

I have carpal tunnel and can't use that BECAUSE of the CT.
-
Carpal tunnel can include arm and elbow issues, not just the wrist and hand. I use a thumb trackball for this reason: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Trackball-Computer-Mouse/dp/B0043T7FXE. Too much baseball and tennis when I was too young.

RSIs are terrible and trackballs are definitely worth using. Luckily my symptoms are relatively light and intermittent but it still sucked and switching for most usage has reduced frequency to basically never.

I have that same one at home and at the office. Been using trackballs for over a decade.

@Kelly Baseball and Tennis... I will stick with that excuse as well. Used a trackball for well over 10 years. I am a rather large person 6'5" tall so I have large hands and my only compliant is the Logitech Trackballs have gotten smaller over the years and are now a little too small for my tastes.
