Posted By jackie Hi there,
I have a DSE user who is beginning to develop RSI to wrist from using the left/right click function on the mouse (I can hear the jokes coming in thick & fast). Are there any mice out there which don't require 'a click' to navigate through documents etc...? My office supply catalogue is a little thin with regards to computer mice.
Got the gel pad sorted for resting the wrist just need a clickless mouse..is there any such thing? Or is that just pure 'Disney'?
Many thanks for your response!

Posted By AlisonSM Posturite also has a large collection of alternatives to the humble mouse (www.posturite.co.uk) as does the Keyboard Company (www.keyboardco.com).
Word of caution with static wrist rest(s)..they are designed to be used when the person is NOT typing but a lot of people mis-use them and some people can actually make the problem worse! i.e. the person is siting too low at their workstation and their arm effectively "sinks" into the gel. They can then twist their wrist in order to type (rather than move their arms, and wrists). This twisting and the pressure on the wrist area can lead to discomfort. They can help some people though (if used correctly).

Posted By M Forbes Have you considered trackball mouses that removes the need for the user to move the mouse. You still have to click, but i reckon reducing the movement so the employee can keep her hand in a comfortable position throughout the use of the PC would reduce RSI injuries.

Posted By Ron Hunter In most common applications the keyboard can achieve the same results via Tab and 'arrow' keys or other Function and Windows key shortcuts too. A Mouse is by no means a necessity!
