I tend to use trackballs and I happen to use a different one at work then at home. Recently as the karpal tunnel started acting up again, I realized that I'm straining the index finger because it's not supported by the trackball.
What if the mouse or trackball could be molded to the shape/curve of your hand, be it inflatable or using some other mechanism to change its shape.-- theircompetitor, Feb 02 2004 (?)

Now all I need to do is patent the bugger! +-- nomadic_wonderer, Feb 02 2004 Darn. You got there first. I was just thinking of a mouse with a malleable wire mesh shell that would let your hand breath as well. Being able to change the position of the buttons might also be nice.-- chud, May 14 2004 random, halfbakery
