I use a Microsoft Trackball Optical. I found that since it's operated with your thumb instead of the index finger it was much easier to get control of (and is far more precise). I have terrible problems with wrist pain that have all but disappeared with the introduction of this device. I tried a graphics tablet a bit with Finale but I didn't find it more useful than any other pointing device.

They are much easier on the hand and wrist than a conventional mouse. I have the Logitech optical mouse w/scroll wheel, and a Kensington mousepad with gel wrist support, and this has made a huge difference. I no longer have any problems with my mousing hand. I hear trackballs are also good, but I could never get the hang of them. - Darcy ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn NY On 18 Mar 2004, at 08:49 AM, Owain Sutton wrote: > I'm becoming concerned about the extent of my mouse usage with Finale, > particularly with a family history of wrist problems. > > I was wondering if anyone has any experience of using a graphics > tablet with the program?
