Mice or no mice
I know this topic has been on the DUC before, but I still have some questions , having some wristproblems so now & then (due to a nasty tick) .
The hockeypuck, which came with the B/W G3 Macs - i sometimes feel it’s not fast (although on highest speed) and accurate enough . Which are the better alternatives ? Did a search on DUC , where everyone's talking about those trackballs . Logitech? Kensington? Multibuttons ? And what about cordless ? Does that work ? What are yr opinions ? Marc |

Re: Mice or no mice
we use a mouse, a track ball, a joystick and a digitizing pad with pen... I just swith around once in a while to work different parts of my wrist, hand and arm... I find the trackball works the best for long periods..
I ought to know... I mix 6 days a week 8 to 12 hours per day on protools.... I am very careful about wrist and hand problems... 'm looking forward to the day I can TRULY put the mouse away and just talk to the computer.. " Computer On " " Sorry..umm.. errr you have to use the mouse.." " Oh... how quaint...." Lifting the mouse to my lips " Computer on..." ( It's still my favorite Star Trek moment !) cheers georgia [This message has been edited by georgia (edited December 12, 2000).]

Re: Mice or no mice
Marc,
I started using a Kensington Turbo Mouse about a month ago because my hand and lower arm began to hurt so bad I couldn't even grip a football. It also had alot to do with my wrist position and arm strain, as well as the mouse. So far so good, almost totally pain free and it only took a couple of days to adjust. I used to use a Wacom tablet back when I edited on a Waveframe. I've tried using it with PT (not the same one, obviously) but it kept conflicting with my CD burner. So I had to abandon it. Frank |

Re: Mice or no mice
My Mac mouse has always seemed very slow and innacurate compared to my PC mouse. Other Mac's I've used seem the same - not just the hockey puck mouse.
I bought a Logitech "Wingman" gaming mouse that I think works great on my P-Tools setup. It was only about $50 bucks. It has it's own set of setup preferences that actually do what I expect them to do. -Mad Anthony |

Re: Mice or no mice
Saw in a shop in my town (Fnac) next to Logitech , Microsoft cordless trackball (Windows & Mac) , rather cheap .
So what about Microsoft mice/trackballs ? And who uses CORDLESS ? Or do we still need these tails? |

Re: Mice or no mice
I love the new laser mouse on my G4. It works great on my satin-black spray-painted tabletop. It will not work on the glass tabletop I have my PT system on. I've gotten used to the hockey puck on my G3 PT system.
