Another angle on the mouse discussion.

All mouses have one thing in common. They require frequent use of the
muscles that lift the arm (deltoid, trapezius, etc). Anyone experiencing
regular stiffness or aches in the shoulder or neck would be well advised
to consider using a trackball. It does not require as much use of the
muscles mentioned, as the palm of the hand, and thus, the arm may remain
at rest while the fingers do the work. 

Kensington makes the best trackballs. <http://www.kensington.com/>
