[CUBE] Alternative mice, wrist conservation

[atoa at krak.net]

I use a Kensington Turbo Mouse Pro, which is really a trackball, and is
wireless. Works like a charm. I've been using Kensington trackballs for
many many years. Don't get their cheap models. A TurboBall I have crapped
out after a couple of years, and never worked smoothly, but I have a
couple of ADB pro models that are smooth as silk even after 15 years of
use. I had to replace the left-switches on them, but that was easy.

I've never used a thumbball. I suppose one can get used to it, but the few
ones that I have tried weren't easy to use.
