My is rough on desktop computer mice. I think I am going to have to setup 'subscribe and save' for the mouse and get a new one every couple months.

Need to figure out something.

Serious . I figure you are hard on computer mice. Send me links and suggestions for an ''industrial strength' computer mouse that will take abuse, please.

@paul

Have you tried alternative pointing devices?

In the early 1990s, I liked using a large #trackball (on Windows 3.1). Since then, I've mostly been using #Wacom tablets, most recently a mid-size Intuous 2.

@johnlogic I've tried the pen device before. Ended up throwing it a lot when I have rebound spasticity and other involuntary muscle action. I am going to give the vertical mouse a try.

I do have a wireless keyboard with a touchpad, and I use the touchpad a lot when the body and hands aren't cooperating.

Probably time to get a dedicated, larger touchpad.

@paul I hope you find a solution that fits your needs.

Part of why I like the Intuous 2 is that it also has a touch mode that allows me to point or gesture with one or more fingers. There's also a button to turn that mode on or off.

An earlier Wacom tablet (before touch controls) had a pen and a mouse with a couple buttons and a scroll wheel. That worked pretty well too.
