hello, i use a computer all day at college and then come home and use a pc quite alot. i want to get a track ball mouse to help avoid getting rsi i dont know what budget i have for the mouse. i dont have a prefence of make. best reccomendations would be on personal experience of owning the item and using it for a period of time. it needs to be compatible with windows vista but im sure all trackball mouse are. you can surgest wired and wireless versions. also maybe concidering a more Ergonomic keyboard. thanks in advance lodore
Hello lodore, I have been a satisfied user of Logitech's Trackman Wheel(wired) for approximately two years and it is compatible with Vista. A Cordless Trackman Wheel is also available. Please see the links below for more information. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/trackballs/devices/166&cl=us,en http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/trackballs/devices/159&cl=us,en Hope this helps. Peace & Gratitude, CogitoErgoSum
The wired version is the one I'd also recommend. Excellent trackball that's easy to use with a perfect shape. Couldn't recommend it more. For ergonomic keyboards, the Microsoft NEK 4000 is my recommendation. I've always been partial to MS keyboards and this one has been perfect. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=043
thanks for the replys i will most likely buy the cordless version of that logitech mouse when i can afford it. anyone got any ideas on how to kinda trick my parents in to buying it for me ? lodore
Ha! Admittedly I'm not up to snuff on parent-tricking anymore, but try the whole "health issue" and "wrist stress" angle! Worth a shot!
