- I've got a Kensington Turbo Mouse, too. I must say, that it's
- beginning to
- hurt me a lot, too. Once, it was much better, but now, it seems just
- as bad
- as anything else that I've ever used.
-
- Actually, it's an indoor soccer injury that started both my wrists
- hurting.
- I was flipped through the air and landed my whole weight on both
- wrists
- simultaneously.
-
- What I think that Kensington should do is to make a
- "downward-sloping" front
- Turbo Mouse, similar to what Apple did with the ADB mice. Remember
- that
- one? I tried turning the trackball upside down and adding the
- "april11 init"
- to reverse the directions, but it wasn't quite right. Oh well. Just
- one user's
