I use my magic track-o-pad exclusively. Just a flick of the fingers to scroll or move between Spaces, simple click to focus on things. It's the best

i find the tragic macpad and its ilk to be way worse for me ergonomically than a mouse but ymmv

trackpads are ergonomically worse than basically all other possible input devices. their only advantage is that they're flat.

I wrecked my carpal tunnel playing computer games so now I can only play them an hour at a time if I want to use a mouse

On a nice thick leather mouse pad from Saddleback Leather https://saddlebackleather.com/leather-mouse-pad-normal I guess mine's an older design it's got more rivets along the stitching

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
apples trackpads are probably my favourite input devices bar none. they're so good.

for me the things that made a difference were properly using cushioned wrist rests (mine look like space) for both mouse and keyboard, and to stop only flexing at the wrist when you use an input device (i.e. move the whole arm to move a mouse instead of just using a hand).

I've got large comical hands and regret buying a Logitech G502.

Also does anyone ever change the DPI or just leave it at default?

the cyber rat thing was very good for the large-handed. Might be worth risking the money on one, see if you like it.

i feel like enough people have 3d printers now that just selling just a stripped down mouse chassis and providing some 3d models might be profitable

"double fps" button is useful with tracer/genji flicks

or you could use it as a half-fps button if you do a lot of looking through scopes

I did 3D print a replacement cover on the bottom that has a pinky rest on the right and larger thumb rest. Worked pretty good

im a leftie but accidentally learned to do a few things (badly) with my right hand. like writing. using a mouse with my right hand is fine though. thank god because trying to buy a left handed mouse looks like a huge pain.

I do all the Cool stuff with my left limbs though, like throwing and kicking #sports #fit #waitforgotabouttennis #poo poo
