Out of the Blue

An interesting thing I learned from my new G9 mouse with the weights is how unnecessary weights are in a mouse, for myself, at least. I assumed at first that heavy would be better, but quickly found loading it with weight actually caused me wrist and hand pain, and further experimentation proved that I was happiest with no weights whatsoever, so maybe I need to look into filling this thing with helium.

I used to use the Logitech Marble+ and ran with a Trackball for years. Used to swear by them. Then found I was actually more accurate and my wrists did better during marathon gaming sessions with a mouse, and switched back.

For me it was all in the Mouse pad, compared to a standard Pad or no pad the trackball had all the pros. When I started using a RatPad (the hard textured plastic) The Mouse was far superior in accuracy, and comfort.

I now use a G5 with I think 2 light and 1 heavy weight, and couldn't be happier. Having the adjustable sensitivity is great, and I find the extra weight in the mouse actually helps me with finer movements, where without weights the mouse wanted to fly across the desk.
