If your arm is getting tired after just an hour or two, it's probably the way that you have your mouse situated on your desk. Try looking up a guide to proper ergonomics for mousing somewhere online. My guess is that your mouse is either 1) situated too high for how you sit, 2) sitting too far away so you have to reach for it, or 3) you need to constantly tug on the wire because it's getting snagged on something or most of the cable is hanging behind your desk and you need to pull it up every time you move the mouse backward.
Do you feel the same problem when you use every other computer you've worked at? Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Perhaps it's the mouse itself? I've found certain styled mouses (the newer Microsoft wireless mice in particular) wear my wrist out really fast compared to other mice I've used. I don't like that one in particular because of the weight of the mouse as well as the angle it makes your wrist sit on.
I've found the most comfortable mouse I've ever used to be the traditional Microsoft Intellimouse Optical. It has just the right arch for my palm, the buttons are curved just right, I can get to both of the side buttons without a problem, and the mousewheel scrolls with hardly any effort from my finger. You can get it for pretty cheap nowadays and I still like it more than the wireless Logitec MX700 that I own (I only use it because my desk's setup at school makes the MS mouse's cord too short). There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Any chance you could take a picture of your current setup? I don't know anyone else that's young and has the problem of an aching wrist after mousing for an extended period of time.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

A while back I used to have really bad wrist pains in my mousing hand when it was set up just slightly too high for where I like it. It would hurt to turn my wrist for about thirty minutes after using my computer for any period of time more than an hour or so. After I bought a wireless mouse and nabbed a TV table from another room I was able to stop the pains within a few days.
If you're not moving your hand when you're mousing (using a really high sensitivity like me, I'm guessing), then why do you think not moving your hand while trackballing will help out at all? Most amazing jew boots |
