for the past year I've been telling myself I'm going to upgrade to a pro-level mouse but I've never got around to it. I'm looking for something as comfortable as possible....my wrist starts to cramp after 4 hours or so of editing and album work. Bluetooth. And customizable buttons...per program.

any suggestions?

I am not laughing! I have the same problem.

Does your wrist hurt after 8 hours of shooting/ holding your camera? If you have any tips for me that would be great!

But here's a mouse that rocks... (the house? -ok, I had to say it sorry )

to tell you the truth I have to switch back and forth to really feel comfortable but it is nice...

I use a hi-res Logitech mouse that has three extra buttons (which I don't use). Shouldn't you be looking at a tablet system that has pen, mouse, and programmable touch buttons? (Intuos)

I use a trackball with my left hand as I've had trouble with this. Problem is, there aren't any bluetooth trackballs on the market. Well, OK, there's one, but it only has two buttons.

Kensington has really good software that you can customize per application. I'm sure you could find one of their mice to use. Their cheaper stuff tends to fall apart, but the more expensive ones are pretty good quality.

I use this mouse. They have cordless versions but I have a 2 year old & I know I'd never see it again if I got one

Just curious if you have a keyboard/mouse tray. I work at a office and they have a ergonomic professional come in to check our setup. e.g. Most people tend to set their keyboard to angle up--the "esc" button being higher level than say the spacebar. but really, the keyboard should angle down (along with the mouse) "esc" button being LOWER level than the spacebar. This allows the wrists to rest in a natural position hanging down.--right? Who walks around flexing their wrists up? Same concept goes for the mouse tray. The ergonomist also recommended that the mouse be directly in front of the hand so that your wrist is in direct line to the rest of your arm instead of twisting it to the left or right to move the mouse around.

Ok a bit off tangent but hope this helps!!

that was very good to know--thank you for that!

Hey wait a minute...aren't those Frank's darling kiddos in your post above Adam??????

i have this one and I LOVE it. I don't konw if its bluetooth, but I know you can program the buttons per program. oh AND its rechargable. yay!

Moving from a mouse to a different mouse really won't solve your pain problems...you perform the same movements. Try moving to a trackball or tablet...better yet, rotate all three. I use to have work-stopping pain with a mouse, but since becoming efficient with a trackball and tablet I've been able to greatly reduce that pain.

It's difficult to completely remove any pain if you're using ANY pointing device 4-8 hours a day, five days a week.
