There’s a mouse graveyard in my workplace cupboard — gadgets I’ve tried and discarded as a result of they didn’t assist with my shoulder aches. The answer was a curler ball mouse and Logitech’s MX Ergo is the perfect I’ve discovered. It tilts for a extra pure “handshake” grip and has a slow-mo possibility for extra exact actions in Photoshop and different apps. The scroll wheel is speedy however exact, as is the trackball and you may change between two gadgets with the pairing button. You may even program the varied buttons to do app-specific issues utilizing Logitech’s software program. It is also a useful companion for an iPad and makes an excellent Mac accent as properly. 

My solely gripe is the antiquated micro-USB charging port, however the battery lasts lengthy sufficient that I solely have to make use of it as soon as each few months. It’s expensive at $100, so you could desire the $70 Ergo Lift. It additionally provides a handshake grip, however with out the curler ball, and has Bluetooth or USB dongle connectivity choices. 

After all, there’s additionally Apple’s personal Magic Trackpad, which mainly replicates the MacBook’s contact floor so you’ll be able to place it anyplace. If you happen to’re a fan of the multi-touch gestures in your MacBook, this may very well be a extra snug means to make use of them. — A.S.
