Finger Mouse
I have been sitting incorrectly at work. I lean on my right/mousing hand and then get something akin to a Tennis Elbow. It’s not huge, but I knew I needed to fix it.
As Internet luck would have it, I stumbled across the Finger Mouse.
It arrived the day of GAYla as I was cranking out printed documents (door prize tickets, programs, etc.). I plugged it into my Mac Book Pro, showed it off to Emil and Beth and Marc (who came in from Austin for the “big gay fundraiser”) and went to using it immediately. Monday, I plugged it into my Dell XPS M1210 laptop at work and found that, even on a PC, it still required no set up.
It takes a little getting used to in two ways:
- The scroll wheel is a little hard for my (probably short) thumb to reach
- Typing is a little awkward with it resting on my index finger.
Still, these are minor adjustments. It’s waaaaaay easier than learning to use a track pad or a track ball, nevermind one of those laptop “joystick” mouses from years ago.
Another feature, the cord is not a plastic/rubber computer cord. It’s a flexible fabric cord like a very heavy shoe lace. This makes keeping it out of the way very easy.
