There’s a mouse graveyard in my workplace cupboard — gadgets I’ve tried and discarded as a result of they didn’t assist with my shoulder aches. The answer was a curler ball mouse and Logitech’s MX Ergo is the perfect I’ve discovered. It tilts for a extra pure “handshake” grip and has a slow-mo possibility for extra exact actions in Photoshop and different apps. The scroll wheel is speedy however exact, as is the trackball and you may change between two gadgets with the pairing button. You possibly can even program the varied buttons to do app-specific issues utilizing Logitech’s software program.
