**************************************************************** **************************************************************** 1) MOUSE TIPS!
I have also created a web page with one hand mousing tips! http://www.aboutonehandtyping.com/mice.html
To save the strain on my wrist, and forearms - yes, after 30 years of being a compulsive and passionate typist for MANY hours every day I do get strain - I use all kinds of keyboard lifts, and pillows. I had a friend make me a big bean bag for my mouse, it looks like a holder for a VERY high heeled shoe. It is 13" from back to front, 6 inches tall in the middle, and 6 inches wide. My wrist rests at the very top, the hand hanging over, laying on top of a Kensington Mouse trackball. I use my left, my less able hand, to Mouse. Most track balls are ONLY for the right hand. Kensington goes for either hand.

FOR THE MAC http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000K4L2/waltersspeakerse/107-3939854-2698915 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004YMY4/waltersspeakerse/107-3939854-2698915
If you don't have a way to create your own bean bag, I have seen one product that you might try, Fellowes Easy Glide Wrist Rest and Mouse Pad Amazon Price: $17.94 click here to see it AOL users, cut and paste this, into your browser http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00001MXVV/waltersspeakerse/107-6262436-9240515
However, if I was using that one, I would need to add something in the middle, to LIFT the BACK of my track ball UP. I have the least pain when the track ball slants downwards at 45 degrees. Experiment to see what works for you! **************************************************************** 2) Free One Hand Typing and Keyboarding Manual downloads!
