Left Handed Mousing

[dvduval]

It was becoming so diffficult for me to talk to people in IM and email, because my right hand was in constant pain. Sometimes on IM I would tell people, I have to stop chatting now, because it hurts to talk to you.

I have reversed the buttons on my mouse and am now using the mouse with my left hand.

First, I think this is going to help reduce the pain in my right forearm.

Second, my right hand has always been the weaker hand in terms of typing speed, because I take it off the keyboard, so my fingers don't stay over the keys and "know" there position as well, so I hope this will help in the regard too.

Can anyone else "feel my pain"?

Nope, never experienced this. I talk on IM's just about every day.

geesh...must be really hard for you. why dont you try to just VOIP or use Skype instead of chatting for the meantime.

Hope you recover soon...

I tyope and use my mouse both with my left hand alone (I'm better one-handed than most, although I rarely proofread my work). I've never had a problem except typing over several thousand keys on any given day can stiffen my fingers at times.

Because I spend a lot of time on the computer I bought this mouse
some years ago and I think it really helped me a lot!
