Mouse

[Tim Stone]

Group,

            It is time to upgrade the mouse.  Does anyone have a mouse that works well with MapInfo, or can anyone recommend a mouse that does not kill the wrist after clicking several hundred times a day?

I've allways used the higher end Microsoft... meese?  without any problem, of course I have a palm cushion and have evrything setup and a very comfortable level.

 

Currently i'm running the black and silver MS cordless or "tailless?"  mouse (actually three of them, office, home office and one in the laptop bag) and sometimes, a digitiing tablet.

 

Seems like I've seen a community of trackball users on the "L", and they are usually die-hard trackballer's!

 

HTH

Hi Tim,

 

I’d highly recommend what I did about a year ago …buy a Wacom Intuos 3 Graphire Tablet. I purchased the 6 X 8” version, but you can go one size higher or lower if you wish.

 

However the 6 X 8” version seems ideal as you don’t have to move your hand too much, and you are actually tracing (digitizing) with a pen stylus.

 

It interfaces directly with Windows, and thus works seamlessly with MapInfo …it just appears as a mouse.

 

In fact, I also have a regular mouse connected (both to USB ports), and so at any time I can switch between them and no conflicts occur in any of the programs I use.

 

I’m now considering getting a Wacom Cintiq tablet, which allows you to trace onto an LCD screen. The only drawback is that the cost of this piece of hardware is significantly higher.

 

To that end, is anyone on the list using the Cintiq or any other LCD touch screen to digitize with?

 

Regards,

 

Bill

Hello Tim

 

If I am doing a lot of digitising I have both a mouse (cordless) and a trackball - I find that changing from one to the other periodically helps avoid wrist agony.
